500,000 DEFY TERRORISTS TO MARK END OF WWII
By Vanessa Allen
MORE than 500,000 people packed into the Mall yesterday to defy the cowardly terrorists who were determined to bring London to its knees with their bombs.

Veterans and their families, friends and carers joined members of a grateful public to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the end of World War 2 in the heart of a city that just three days earlier was awash with the blood of indiscriminate murder.

The Queen praised those gathered for displaying the sort of courage and spirit that helped stop Hitler in his tracks and keep these shores free from tyranny.
Damn, near bought a tear to my eye! I have never been prouder to be a Londoner. Even if I weren't British, I'd have to say that they are a great nation. I wish I could have been there to squash into the crowd.
