DAY LONDON MARCHED ON IN DEFIANCE

DEFIANT Londoners returned to work yesterday, walking over the bridge where Saturday’s massacre unfolded.

London Bridge was crammed with workers from early morning, as commuters walking north towards the City showed it was business as usual.

Borough Market remained closed while forensics officers continued their search but nearby London Bridge station reopened for the rush hour.

Thousands laid flowers at a police cordon which has become a makeshift shrine to the victims of the atrocity.

The mother and stepfather of 15-year-old Manchester Arena bomb victim Olivia Campbell-Hardy were among scores to pay tribute.

Charlotte Campbell and Paul Hodgson made the visit as a “show of solidarity”.

As she laid flowers on Borough High Street, Ms Campbell said she felt “sick” when she learned of the London attack.

She said: “We have lost our daughter and we felt we needed to come and unite with them and let them know Manchester is supporting them.”

A message on one bunch of flowers from a family in Newcastle upon Tyne read “London, we stand with you”, while another said: “Pure evil act: RIP. London will never give in”.

In total, 48 people were taken to hospital after the attack. Met Police commissioner Cressida Dick said a cordon remained in place around Borough High Street to ensure “everyone had been accounted for”.
