Your messages of support

We've been overwhelmed by your messages of support. They have come from all over the world, but particularly from the United States and, of course, Spain, which suffered similar terrorist attacks last year.

As our media site reports today, we had more visitors yesterday from Madrid than any other city in the world, outside London itself.

Here is a representative sample of the emails we've been sent in the last 24 hours, to follow up on those we published yesterday.

Pedro Moreno, Madrid:

"I have no words. Be strong, this is too much. We know what you are feeling. We would like to help you."

Alicia Lorente, Barcelona:

"As a Spaniard who lived very closely to the March 11th attacks in Madrid, I wish to express my solidarity to all Londoners who have experienced today the unjustified terrorist attacks that some heartless fanatics had carefully planned for a day which should have been plenty of joy and pride for all U.K. people.

"Be strong and keep fighting against fanaticism worldwide."

Joan Slavin, New York City, USA:

"I remember 9/11 here in New York City. When I heard [about yesterday's attacks], I thought back to 9/11 and the pain I went through living in Manhattan at that time. London, like New York, is a wonderful, all inclusive city where people of many races live together in relative harmony. I lived in London for three months several years ago and remember remarking to friends how similar the city was to New York in that it was a truly international place where everyone is accepted for who they are.

"Last week on the subway, I met a group of students who came to New York to study this very point... to see with their own eyes a city where all people can come together to live and work. These cities are models for the world. I can not even begin to understand why someone would bring such pain to these places. God or Allah or whatever you choose to call our creator must be wondering right now when we are ever going to understand."
