article: The same stream of commuters rushing through the barriers; the same frustrations at delays on the tube. But this morning a small group of people quietly gathered at the 7/7 memorial plaque. A station announcement told people there would be a minute's silence. At exactly 08:50 BST, the moment the blasts went off, commuters across the concourse stopped where they were, and there was a hush. Tube workers stood together, heads bowed. Survivors comforted each other and shared a moment of quiet reflection on what they had experienced exactly a decade ago. Twenty-six people were killed on a Piccadilly Line train after it left the station, the worst toll of the attacks. This wasn't the official national silence - that would come later at 11:30. But at the affected stations - King's Cross, Russell Square, Edgware Road and Aldgate - there was an added poignancy for those about to board trains. Among those at King's Cross was city worker Emly Skiba, on her way to Canary Wharf, who found herself moved to tears at the tribute. "I hadn't planned to be here, I just happened to be passing. But it suddenly struck - so many people died," she said. As people began to disperse, a young woman emerged from the crowd and laid a handful of handpicked flowers, before moving silently on. Brightly coloured flowers were heaped high at the spot in Tavistock Square where the final bomb exploded on a packed number 30 bus, almost exactly an hour later. At 09.47 BST, the time of the blast, a tight huddle of people gathered on the pavement, spilling out into the road. Doctors from the nearby British Medical Association - who were the first on the scene that day - returned to remember the 14 people they were not able to save. The parents of one of the victims, Anthony Fatayi-Williams, whispered a prayer. Across the road, a bus driver pulled up and quietly watched from his cab. On the Tube, the mood among passengers was solemn but defiant. Jan Nova, an Estonian fashion designer living in London, was reading coverage of the 7/7 anniversary in the Metro on his Circle Line commute to work. "Of course sometimes when you get the Tube, you think about it," he said. "But none of us can know when and where something might happen, and so you have to carry on." Other Londoners showed their solidarity this morning by taking part in the "walk together" initiative, getting off their Tube or bus a stop early and walking in memory of 7/7. It was an echo of that day, when thousands stranded by the crippled transport network walked home. Among this morning's trekkers was 35-year-old Lins Drabwell, who chose to walk the whole 8.4 miles (13.5km) from her home in Bromley to her office in London Bridge. She said doing the "walk together" on the 10th anniversary was "an easy decision". "I remember 7/7 so clearly. Our office was near Edgware Road. We could see the station from our office window, and the emergency services going
