PEOPLE young and old gathered together in Bradford today to remember those killed in the Tunisia terror attack.

A minute's silence was observed across the UK at noon to remember the 38 victims, including 30 Britons, who died in the beachfront massacre a week ago.

Around 200 people congregated in Bradford's Centenary Square outside City Hall.

The Lord Mayor of Bradford, Councillor Joanne Dodds, had invited the public to join her. Labour Bradford South MP Judith Cummins and Council leader Councillor David Green were among the dignitaries who took part.

As the City Hall bells chimed the hour, silence fell across the square as people of all backgrounds and ages remembered the dead.

The Lord Mayor's chaplain, the Rev Paul Bilton, then led a prayer.

He said: "We remember before God this day those who lost their lives through an act of terrorism, including the 30 British people.

"We remember especially today their families and friends as they struggle to come to terms with such a life-changing event for themselves.

"Also we remember this day all who strive for peace in our world."

Similar events were held across the nation.

The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh observed the silence as they visited the University of Strathclyde's Technology and Innovation Centre, while Prime Minister David Cameron marked the moment in his Oxfordshire constituency.

As pedestrians and tourists alike bowed their head in London's Parliament Square during the silence, flags above Whitehall fluttered at half mast, a poignant symbol mirrored at public buildings throughout the country, including at Buckingham Palace.
