The columns comprising the memorial bear the date, times and locations of the attacks.

A permanent memorial has been unveiled in London's Hyde Park to the victims of the bomb attacks on the city's transport system on 7th July, 2005

The memorial consists of 52 stainless steel columns - or stelae - one for each of the people who died after suicide bombers detonated explosives on three Underground stations and a bus. They are grouped to represent those killed in each of the four sites.

Prince Charles said the families had endured unutterable misery because of the cruel and mindless carnage.

The unveiling ceremony, carried out in torrential rain, was attended by the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall and Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

Relatives of the victims laid roses at the memorial - red ones for love and white for peace.

The names of the victims are listed on a separate plaque nearby.
