Boris Johnson, Mayor of London makes this statement in response to yesterday's tragic incident in Woolwich:

I want to pay tribute, not just to the work of the police and the security services, but above all to the people of Woolwich who showed such exemplary courage and bravery in dealing with an appalling situation. That is the spirit of London and today I call on Londoners to go about their lives in the normal way.

Today our shock at what happened on the streets of our city remains.

The investigation into the shocking murder of a serving soldier yesterday is ongoing, and is of course a major investigation for us.

It is only right that the ongoing investigations are allowed to take place, and they must take as long as is needed without anyone pre-empting what they may conclude. I would ask for Londoners help and support for us to continue. Please remain calm. London is at its best when we all come together and now is the time to do that.
