A SHORT vigil was held in Centenary Square to remember those who lost their lives or were injured in, or affected by, the terror attack in London on Friday.
The city centre service was led by Canon Paul Maybury of Bradford Cathedral and attended by councillor Susan Hinchcliffe, Bradford Council leader, and the council's chief executive, Kersten England.
Former University of Cambridge students Saskia Jones, 23, and Jack Merritt, 25, were fatally stabbed by 28-year-old convicted terrorist Usman Khan during a prisoner rehabilitation event they were both supporting.
The event was attended by a small group of people who stood solemnly as a prayer was read aloud.
Leader of Bradford Council, Susan Hinchcliffe, thanked the crowd for coming as people stood "united in grief and sorrow".
The councillor said: "We gather together as a community united in grief and sorrow.
"You are all in our thoughts and prayers."
