An eye-witness from last night's London terror attack has appeared on BBC News with a defiant tribute to both the city and the emergency services that is being widely shared on social media.
Richard Angel describes enjoying a gin and tonic with friends when the incident that has so far claimed seven lives and injured 50 occurred.
'If me having a gin and tonic with my friends, flirting with handsome men, hanging out with brilliant women is what offends these people so much, I'm going to do it more, not less,' he began.

'Because that what makes London so great, that's what makes this the best city in the world, and we're going to go out and enjoy it more.
'And I'm more determined than ever to love the city that looks after me.'
Describing the bravery of the police and ambulance services who may have saved his life, Angel insisted he wouldn't be put off enjoying his life as normal by the 'cowards' who carried out the attack.
'They run at danger, then they turn their back on danger to put together the life in front of them while we're running for our lives behind them,' he added. 'They seem to be the most vulnerable at that point, and they did a remarkable thing.'
He joins the man fleeing the scene while protecting his pint as a symbol of London's spirit at this dark time for the city.
