Flags Fly at Half Mast Over Guildhall as Mark of Respect

Flags are flying at half mast over the Guildhall today as a mark of respect for those who died in yesterday’s terror attack in London.

Four people died yesterday when a lone attacker, armed with knives, mowed down pedestrians on Westminster Bridge.

He then crashed his car into the perimeter fencing of the Houses of Parliament, stabbing 48 year old Metropolitan Police officer Keith Palmer who died at the scene, the attacker was shot dead by armed officers.

As a mark of respect flags at the Guildhall, across north Wales and the UK are being flown at half mast. At 9:33am there was also a nationwide minute’s silence to remember those who lost their lives in yesterday’s terror attack.

This morning Wrexham Council tweeted to say: “Flags to fly at half-mast as mark of respect for Westminster terror attack yesterday. Mayor to send condolences to Mayor of London.”
