London Bridge attack: Vigil held for Saskia Jones and Jack Merritt
Vigils for the victims of the London Bridge attack have been held in London and Cambridge.
Jack Merritt, 25, and Saskia Jones, 23, were commemorated at the services, which included a minute's silence.
Mr Merritt and Ms Jones were both graduates of the University of Cambridge's institute of criminology and had been taking part in an event for its Learning Together programme - which focuses on education within the criminal justice system - when they were killed on Friday.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn were among those at the vigil at the Guildhall in the City of London.
They were joined London Mayor Sadiq Khan who said the best way to defeat the hatred shown in the attack was to focus on the values of hope, unity and love.
Emily Maitlis speaks to Conservative Tobias Elwood, who performed first aid in the 2017 London Bridge attacks and Labour peer Lord Charles Falconer who was the first Secretary of State for Justice under Tony Blair.
