Muslim women gathered on Westminster Bridge on Sunday to condemn last week’s terror attack.

Striking photographs show dozens of Women’s March participants, some with their daughters, linking hands in the spot where three were killed and dozens more injured when assailant Khalid Masood mounted the pavement at speed.

One of those in attendance, Sarah Waseem from Surrey, said: “When an attack happens in London, it is an attack on me. It is an attack on all of us.

“Islam totally condemns violence of any sort. This is abhorrent to us.”

Leslie Rhodes died after being hit by the car, alongside mother-of-two Aysha Frade and US tourist Kurt Cochran.

Masood went on to crash the vehicle into the Parliamentary estate before killing PC Keith Palmer. He was shot dead shortly after.

Meanwhile a police investigation continues and a 30-year-old man was arrested in Birmingham yesterday.
