PUBLIC figures and faith leaders were among a 100-strong group who held a minute’s silence outside Bradford City Hall to mark one week since the terror attack near the Palace of Westminster.
Khalid Masood, 52, drove into pedestrians, fatally injuring three and injuring about 40 others, then stabbed a police officer to death before he was shot dead by other officers.
Today's vigil included the message “We Stand Together” and those taking part said they represented unity and solidarity against terrorism.
Similar vigils were held across the country.
Sibtain Kazmi, of the Shia Muslim Haideria Centre in St Mary’s Road, Bradford, said: “We feel strongly that terrorists are against all humanity. We stand here today, regardless of race or faith, as an act of solidarity against all acts of terrorism.”
Kersten England, chief executive of Bradford Council, said: “I am pleased to be here and part of a community which is standing together against extremism.
"People have gathered outside City Hall to remember the victims from last week and to reflect about what is important to us personally.”
