Seven dead following London terror attack

Police say seven people are now dead following last night's terror attack in London.

Three men wearing hoax bomb vests drove a van into people walking on London Bridge just after 10pm.

They then headed to nearby Borough Market before jumping out and stabbing people.

It's believed at least 48 people are injured.

Britain's main political parties have suspended election campaigning today in the wake of the attack.

While, the organisers behind tonight's One Love Manchester benefit concert say the event will go ahead.

A statement from Ariana Grande's agent Scooter Braun says all those involved feel a responsibility to honour the victims of the bombing that claimed 22 lives.

After the events last night in London, and those in Manchester just two weeks ago, we feel a sense of responsibility to honor those lost, injured, and affected. We plan to honor them with courage, bravery, and defiance in the face of fear. Today's One Love Manchester benefit concert will not only continue, but will do so with greater purpose. We must not be afraid, and in tribute to all those affected here and around the world, we will bring our voices together and sing loudly. I am pleased to say we have the full support of Greater Manchester police and the government and are assured the safety of all those attending is the highest priority. All artists involved have been unwavering in their support this morning and are determined to carry on with the show. We ask the strong city of Manchester and the world to join us in making the statement that hatred and fear will never win. Today we stand together. Thank you.
