"They'll be growing up without the love of a mother, and she was just so tragically taken from them. My 11-year-old and nine-year-old twins...it's just heartbreaking to think of what those kids will now go through without their mother being there. It's quite frightening but at the end of the day, we just keep our chins up and we just get on with it, and we don't let the terrorist win."

"I feel it's safe in London. Frankly, I think that people are very calm, not obsessed by this risk, they know that there is a risk but they also know that police is very active and we have to show ourself that we are safe."

People in London gathered at city center's Trafalgar Square Thursday night to mourn the victims of Wednesday's terror attack.
The mourning ceremony started at 18:00 local time. Many London citizens and visitors held burning candles and stood in silence. National flags on surrounding buildings flew at half-mast.
The death toll of the terror attack rose to five Friday morning as a seriously injured citizen died at the hospital.
Debbie McKibbin, a visitor from Northern Ireland was at the memorial service. She was almost to tears thinking of the children of the mother who was killed in the attack.
"They'll be growing up without the love of a mother, and she was just so tragically taken from them.

It's quite frightening but at the end of the day, we just keep our chins up and we just get on with it, and we don't let the terrorist win," she said.
While mourning the victims and praying for the wounded, many were still positive about London's security.
"I feel it's safe in London. Frankly, I think that people are very calm, not obsessed by this risk, they know that there is a risk but they also know that police is very active and we have to show ourself that we are safe," said Gorbo, a lawyer.
Many young people participated in the memorial. Maria, a Portuguese student in London School of Economics believes the path to fight against terrorism is common value.
"We should be proud of our culture, and try to fight against this, because even if they fight with weapons, we can still fight with our heart and our ideology," she said.
