Millions of people across the UK will fall silent on Tuesday (July 7) to mark 10 years since the devastating 7/7 bombings in London.

Tuesday marks the 10th anniversary of the atrocity, the worst ever terrorist attack on British soil.

On July 7, in 2005, 56 people were killed by the coordinated assault on London - the first ever suicide attack in the UK.

Among the casualties were four bombers, while more than 700 were injured.

First in a series of attacks were three bombs which hit the London Underground just after 8.50am at Liverpool Street, Edgware Road and between Russell Square and King's Cross.

Around an hour later, another bomb went off, this time on a bus - a number 30 - at Tavistock Square.

Ten years on from the horrific attack, here's what happening to commemorate those who were killed and injured:

Minute's silence

A nationwide pause will take place, for a minute, at 11.30am, with bus drivers pulling over (if safe to do so) and, although Tube services will not stop, passengers will be informed of the silence.

The All England Club confirmed that it would observe the minute's silence during Wimbledon.

A spokesman said: "Play on all courts, except Centre Court and No 1 Court, will start at 11.45am instead of 11am."

Centre Court and Court 1 usually start play at 1pm.

It will follow an emotional minute's silence held at midday on Friday in memory of the victims of the Tunisia beach massacre.

Hyde Park memorial

A public service will take place at the memorial in Hyde Park, at 2.30pm, where the 52 pillars represent victims of the attacks.

Wreaths will be laid out in the morning and the service will include readings, music and flowers.

St Paul's Cathedral service

A special commemoration service will take place at St Paul's and will be aired on TV, from 10.30am, attended by families of those affected by the atrocities.

Emergency staff from the Met Police, London Fire Brigade, and London Ambulance Service will also attended alongside the Mayor of London and Prince Andrew.

Exhibition

Southwark's London City Hall is running a free exhibition of paintings and pastels by Miriam Hyman, one of those killed in the bombings, until Friday (July 10).

The 30 paintings were initially shown on the first anniversary of the bombings, and this will be the ‘Mimento’ collection’s fourth showing.

Friends and family of the 7/7 victim will also hold an open memorial gathering from 5pm onwards at the cafe near the top gate of Golders Hill Park, in Golders Green. People should meet at the Bull and Bush Pub if it is raining.

The Miriam Hyman Memorial Trust website reads: "We will have our annual gathering a little later than usual, due to the official events taking place earlier in the day.

"We will also climb a tree for Mim as we do every year, because it’s something she loved to do."

New 7/7 Memorial

The Tavistock Memorial Trust has raised £36,000 from a £100,000 target to build a permanent memorial in Tavistock Square where the bus was bombed.
