"I know all in Hammersmith & Fulham send our love to those suffering loss following the disgusting attacks in Sri Lanka,” said Council Leader, Cllr Stephen Cowan.

"In these challenging times, we remain vigilant in opposing terror wherever it appears and stand together with people everywhere who face down hate and instead promote understanding, compassion, and unity."
