LONDON -- On July 7, 2005 Londoners had to walk home after four deadly bombs brought the city to a standstill. 10 years on from that chaotic Thursday morning, commuters walked again, this time to remember the 52 people killed in the attacks.
The walk, supported by several organisations including Amnesty International, Hope Not Hate, and the Islamic Society of Britain among others, urged people to get off their buses or trains a stop early on Tuesday morning and walk to work, using the #walktogether hashtag to share their journey.
Here are some of the tweets people shared as they walked together a decade after 7/7:

Still have the shoes I was wearing to walk 5 miles on 7/7. The blisters have gone, not the memories. #walktogether pic.twitter.com/Qg70sZuwte— Andrew Dysch (@fing1992) July 7, 2015
