Outpouring of support on social media for Londoners after Westminster attack

People across the world have taken to social media to express their support for the people of London, following the terror attack which occurred earlier today.

Four people, including an armed police officer, have been killed after a knifeman brought terror to the heart of Westminster.

The attacker, armed with two large knives, mowed down pedestrians with his car on Westminster Bridge, including schoolchildren, then rushed at the gates in front of the Houses of Parliament, stabbing the policeman before being shot dead by other officers.

Many people have posted messages of solidarity on social media.

    @LiamFromLondon: "Prayers go out to all those who were hurt. Don't let this divide us, don't blame religion for this. #PrayForLondon"

    @Bvhks: "Thoughts & prayers with all those affected by the terror attack in London #PrayForLondon"
