this picture of pc palmer, he looks so vulnerable, ifi pc palmer, he looks so vulnerable, if i may sayeal message of this story is that the security at the front of parliament will have to be stepped up. you will have to have armed policeman there. at the moment you just have to police officers in high visibility jackets, which really isn't good enough. john, scotland yard has been giving us more details tonight in terms of what it knows in the investigation. one of the most striking things i have seen in the last hour is something that suggests that the entire duration of the attack, from the moment the first casualties was hit on the bridge to keith palmer being stabbed and then being shot, was one minute and 22 seconds. yes, 82 seconds. astonishing. and it was all over. it was all over very quickly. i the of w i railings of w i railings if {$27 i it ilfl i; r "iii icirir "iii iii icirir'-‘iit iii v” thought it was a the railings and i thought it was a traffic accident. it sounded witty serious so i went to the window to see what was going on. —— pretty serious. it was very confusing,

at that stage i didn't know about pc palmer being murdered.s on london bridge. i wasjust car ramming pedestrians on london bridge. i was just walking to vote. it was a truly shocking event and it has really shaken everybody. immensely confusing, as you say, but the response from the police presence must have been quite extraordinary to see. the response from the police was remarkable. they saved many more lives. if the terrorist had not been stopped at that point he would run into westminster hall, two were the mps we re westminster hall, two were the mps were and many more people could have been murdered. the police acted in a remarkable way and they should have our gratitude, the police and security services, doing a remarkablejob, protecting security services, doing a remarkable job, protecting the public. and it is heartening to see so many people at the vigil this evening. louise ellman mp, thank you very much. let's return to trafalgar square. thousands of people have been attending a candlelit vigil. there are thousands of people here i

keith palmer was 48 yea rs police service. keith palmer was 48 years old.s stabbed as he was guiding the gates of parliament. the foreign office minister, tobias ellwood, tried to save his life by giving him artificial respiration, but sadly failed and keith palmer died, along with the attacker and three other people. so a death toll now of five and at least 40 people have been injured. we have gotten the latest update from the metropolitan police's acting deputy commissioner, mark rowley. one of those who died today was a police officer, pc keith palmer, part of the command. he was 48, had 15 years service, and what a husband and father. he left for work today expecting to return home at the end of his shift, and he had every right to expect that would happen. i can also now confirmed there were three members of the public who lost their lives in the attack. their families will be supported. and as i confirmed earlier, the suspected attacker was shot dead by an armed officer. shot dead by anarmed effieep we have five people who therefore, we have five peop

meanwhile, the mp, who tried to save the life of pc keith palmer outside parliament, foregin ministertobias ellwood, has been speaking about what happened. he called it a dark day. i make it clear that i was one of many that stepped forward on that dark day. our thoughts and prayers remain with those families and friends of the victims, including our own pc keith palmer. people say in the iraqi city of mosul say many civilians remain buried under rubble, following the air strikes. jermey bowen is on the frontline in western mosul. there is an alternative to this very difficult, costly street fighting,

ruth, to the left, a photograph of keith palmer.s bringing all of the pieces together over the weekend, i suspect a lot of the papers will do that. the photo was taken by a tourist whom he posed with 45 minutes before he died. he is wearing the stab best which u nfortu nately is wearing the stab best which unfortunately wasn't able to protect other parts of his body. you go in and out of those gates on a regular basis, you were a treasury official a few years ago, you are a regular at westminster talking to committees, giving evidence and so on. you must have been chilled by what you saw. i think he looked very vulnerable. what strikes me is at the gates there are an armed police. i think they were on at some point, and there were objections from mps and there were objections from mps and visitors. that will have to change. i see lord ian blair, you said in the introduction, he is calling for tighter security of the commons, and i think that is almost a first stop that they have armed police there. they have an police around the res
