Wimbledon comes to a halt to remember 2005 bombing

London

The Wimbledon tennis championships came to a standstill on Tuesday as people paused to remember the London bombings a decade ago -- among them firemen called to the scene on the day.

Police, fire officers, security staff, medics and first aid volunteers on duty at the tournament stood to attention for the national minute's silence, and for some, the memories were personal.

On July 7, 2005, four Islamist suicide bombers killed themselves and 52 innocent victims on three Underground trains and a bus.

Ten years ago, Paul Morgan, 50, was the fire brigade watch manager at Kensington in west London. His crew were the second to arrive at the Edgware Road bombing, in which six people were killed.
