Solidarity and strength shines through

A YEAR ago today 52 people lost their lives as they did what we all do every day without thinking - travel to work.
The attrocious attacks on those using the capital's public transport system was a horrid reminder of the world we now live in.
We all know people who could have been part of that number, friends and relatives who work in London, who use the tubes and the buses every day.
While we may be 200 miles away here in Grimsby, it was a chilling day that struck fear and echoed the uncertainty last felt in September 2001. It showed what a precarious world we live in.
But the spirit, steel and determination to not let terrorists win the battle has purveyed, and for that I am incredibly proud to be British.
I remember as if it was yesterday the crowds of people television cameras showed wallking home from work that night. While it was the only real option, the purpose and poise of those doing so almost sent a defiant message in itself.
