I'm also trying to contact my sister.

She lives in London? God, I hope she's okay. Let us know, Forester.

Can't get through her cell. I think there is a system overload on the mobile phone network. Will try to contact her later on.

More reports are coming in now; it sounds absolutely terrible. Keeping everyone over in London in my thoughts. And Forester, I hope you'll be able to connect with your sister soon and that she's safe.

Here in London - mobiles are knackered - network is overloaded - If you need to contact anyone try and use landline

Just herd from the sister. She is alright. She is a bit shaken, but she's alright. I'm so relieved.

Have anyone herd from Pop yet?

Pop is OK - contacted him by mobile a couple of hours back. Now all networks are turned off due to overload.

Hmmmm.... leaving in a few hours to take my husband to the airport for his flight to London. His hotel is not far from Kings Crossing. This is unnerving.

Thanks Sister George.
Your brave words have helped me dry my tears.
The heaviness of my heart will take some time to lift.

This Noel Coward sing lent inspiration to Londoners and all the world during the blitz:

London Pride has been handed down to us.
London Pride is a flower that's free.
London Pride means our own dear town to us,
And our pride it for ever will be.

Grey city, stubbornly implanted,
Taken so for granted for a thousand years.
Stay, city, smokily enchanted,
Cradle of our memories and hopes and fears.

Every Blitz our resistance toughening,
From the Ritz to the Anchor and Crown,
Nothing ever could override
The pride of London Town.

God bless you Londoners and lovely London.
