A BOOK of condolence has been opened at Huddersfield Town Hall in the wake of the London bombings.
The book is a way of letting people write down their feelings and a message to those affected by the bombs on July 7 which claimed the lives of more than 50 people.
They will then be sent to Mayor of London Ken Livingstone.
Barry Sheerman MP has signed the Huddersfield book writing of his support for families and friends of those affected from our communities.
Many of the messages speak of the pain of losing loved ones that many people are having to go through in the wake of the sickening attack.
There is also international support in the book.
Ames Gravert, a visitor to Huddersfield from Atlanta in the US wrote: "My sympathies are with the British people and so is my pride for the way the country has come together."
Council leader Kath Pinnock said she had come up with the idea after speaking to senior officers at the council.
She added: "We wanted to give local people an opportunity, particularly with the terrible links which have come to light, to express their feelings."
Clr Pinnock said at a 300-strong rally at Dewsbury town hall on Saturday many of the people queued for up to 45 minutes to write a message in the book.
She added: "People feel distress that it has happened."
Books of condolence are also open at Dewsbury, Batley and Cleckheaton town halls.
