Dozens of people from different faiths and communities gathered to remember victims of the weekend terror attack in London.

Mayor of Gravesham Cllr Harold Craske led a minute's silence during a service at Gravesend Civic Centre this morning, where he was joined by fellow councillors, faith leaders, and members of the public.

It came just days after the Gravesend and Dartford Muslim Association held an inter-faith community event to condemn terror and promote togetherness.

Speaking before he invited attendees to observe this morning's silence, Cllr Craske said the people of Gravesham were "united in our condemnation of all terrorist acts".

"It was only last week that we stood in silence with our Muslim brothers and sisters and members of other faith groups in the Gravesend mosque," he said.

"All of those represented there were united in horror and denunciation of the events in Manchester and Westminster. We did not realise then that we would be here today remembering the horror of last Saturday. We remain united."

Cllr Craske paid tribute to the courage of the emergency services and members of the public who showed bravery in protecting others.

Seven people died and dozens more were injured during the latest attack in the UK.

Gravesend and Dartford Muslim Association chairman Ejaz Aslam, who spoke out against terrorism and its bid to divide communities last week, said this one was particularly shocking.

"This one really has shocked a lot of people because of the closeness to what happened in Manchester," he said.

"I can only strongly and unequivocally condemn these attacks. This violence has no place in any religion whatsoever, let alone Islam. It is a religion of peace."

Some have called on the Muslim community to do more to root out those harbouring extremist views, but Mr Aslam said everyone had to work together to do it.

One of the London Bridge attackers had already been reported and kicked out of his mosque for his views.

Kent Equality Cohesion Council CEO Gurvinder Sandher echoed Mr Aslam's call for communities to co-operate and unite in the face of terrorism.

"In Gravesham we always pride ourselves on our good community relations, have stood together, and this is what the terrorists don't want to see," he said.

"Everyone is shocked and upset by what's going on, but the focus shouldn't just be on one community, it should be for all of us to come together to condemn the attacks, not be divided, and show we aren't going to be defeated."
