Lots of children there, dreadful.

Some people are very sick and warped, to do this.

Nothing remotely useful to say. The utter futility of it...

Oh Rhiannon & Rose, it's heartbreaking. i have BBC Breakfast on& don't usually put telly on in the morning but, like you, nothing useful to say. It is just so so bad.

Gotta get ready for work & frankly don't feel like it. Me carrying on as normal, my kids in 20s doing the same. it could have been them ten years ago.

Carrying on as normal is the best response for those not caught up in it, even though nobody feels like it. It's what our young people need more than anything.

Still looking in utter bewilderment at the news, talking to my girls about it. No words.

I am gratified that in the aftermath of this terrible event that so many people demonstrated their humanity and concern by generously offering assistance, accommodation, transportation and any other help they could provide to the traumatised people at this event.

This is ample evidence of the innate goodness of people and more than counters the empty hatred of the perpetrator of this despicable deed.

I really think the sooner the whole of the world becomes Secular the better, unfortunately there'll always be a few of these bombing nut jobs people around but Secularism would help reduce the amount of them, via not lending any special unwarranted, privileged/special status to specifically religion based subjects in schools anywhere; it'll be a long haul but a much needed improvement.

Our vicar daughter knows of two children who attend a primary school in her area who were at the event last night, fortunately they weren't hurt.

The interview on TheWorld at One on Radio 4 with the young man who knew the bomber from school was, I thought a very sensible one.

I was disturbed by the decision to cancel the showing of the cup final at the Emirates. Unless there was direct intel that it was threatened that seems to cause panic and alarm and give the terrorisst what they want. And why that event and not the others taking place this weekend?

I was talking to my kids about my feeling (and I know feelings aren't reliable) that this kind of terror is a fashion and it will die out, although not without cost. Then I saw this about 'Jihad fatigue'.
