Remembering the '22 lives so brutally taken', Prince William said he wanted to attend Tuesday's unveiling 'to acknowledge the hundreds of lives that were irrevocably changed and to pay tribute to the resilience of this great city'.
"Five years on I know that the pain and the trauma felt by many, has not gone away," he said as bereaved families, some with a tear in their eye, and civic dignitaries looked on. "As someone who lives with his own grief, I also know that what often matters most to the bereaved is that those we have lost are not forgotten.
