May delivered a speech outside Downing Street after she chaired a Cabinet Office Briefing Room meeting.

"Tomorrow morning Parliament will meet as normal," she said. "We will come together as normal. And Londoners and others around the world will get up and go about their day as normal. They will board their trains. They will leave their hotels. They will walk these streets. They will live their lives, they will all move forward together, never giving into terror and never allowing the voices of hate and evil to drive us apart."

My thoughts are with everyone in and around Westminster caught up in this dreadful incident - and with the brave emergency services.
