A minute’s silence will form part of events to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the 7/7 terrorist attacks in London which claimed the lives of 52 innocent people and injured hundreds more.

Four suicide bombers including Huddersfield student Jermaine Lindsay and ringleader Mohammed Sidique Khan, of Dewsbury, blew up three trains and a bus in London.

The period of reflection - to take place during a service at St Paul’s Cathedral attended by the Duke of York - will be observed across the capital’s public transport network.

Announcements will be halted and bus drivers asked to bring vehicles to a stop if they can do so safely, a decade after bombs ripped through three rush-hour Underground trains and a bus.

Transport for London said Tube services would run as normal but passengers would be asked to observe the silence and platform and other announcements would be halted for the duration.

Wreaths will be laid beforehand at the permanent Hyde Park memorial to the outrage, where a second service will take place later, featuring music, a series of readings and the laying of flowers.

The memorial - comprised of 52 stainless steel pillars to represent each of the victims - was vandalised shortly before last year’s anniversary.

July 7 2005 had dawned with London still elated from learning the previous day that it had won the 2012 Olympics, but the euphoria was short-lived.

Suicide bombers Mohammed Sidique Khan, 30, Shehzad Tanweer, 22, Hasib Hussain, 18, and Jermaine Lindsay, 19, met at Luton station that morning.

They took a train to King’s Cross in London, then hugged and separated to carry out their deadly missions.

Within three minutes of the first train setting off at 8.50am, Tanweer detonated his bomb at Aldgate, Khan set his device off at Edgware Road and Lindsay blew himself up between King’s Cross and Russell Square.

Hussain detonated his device on board the number 30 bus at Tavistock Square at 9.47am.
