Sadiq Khan: Best way to defeat hatred is by focusing on values that bind us

London Mayor Sadiq Khan called on Londoners to come together "in a spirit of defiance" against terrorism during a vigil for the victims of Friday night's attack.

The London Mayor was joined by Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn at the memorial to Jack Merritt and Saskia Jones in Guildhall Yard in the City of London.

Also there were Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick, Home Secretary Priti Patel and Liberal Democrat candidate Chuka Umunna.

After a minute's silence at 11am, Mr Khan said:

The mayor thanked the public and members of the emergency services who "ran towards danger, risking their lives to help others they didn't even know".

Mr Khan called on Londoners to "draw inspiration from the lives of Jack and Saskia who, from a very early age, chose to dedicate themselves to helping others".
