    One eyewitness says he saw 8 to 10 people on the ground injured after being hit by the car on the Bridge.

    There's a lot of photo's of the injured on various platforms on the internet. I don't think it would be appropriate to post them on here.

    Right I'm off to walk the dog.

    Sadly it was only a matter of time before this happened.
    Stay alert if you're in the capital as secondary attacks are common, although would probably have happened by now.

    Stay safe all.

    The BBC are saying a group of French school children were amongst the people injured on the Bridge. Shocking.

    Seems the London Eye has been stopped with people still in the pods. They must be terrified looking down on the scenes below.

    Unsurprisingly, traffic mayhem in the centre of town. Having picked up previously from inside the courtyard in the House of Commons I'm amazed the attacker got so far, normally there is a check on the entrance followed by a confirmation before you can get in. I can only think the earlier incident on the bridge distracted some of the security but it's worrying that one man can get so far before being taken out...

    There's speculation that he may have had a press pass or similar.

    Why would he crash into the gates if he had a press pass?

    There may have been more than one attacker.
