Flags flew at half-mast as a minute’s silence was held across Notts to remember the victims of the London Bridge terror attack.
The national event on Tuesday morning (June 6) was planned as a show of solidarity after seven people were killed and 48 injured when three men drove a van at pedestrians then attacked people with knives at Borough Market.
People gathered in Old Market Square in Nottingham and also fell silent at shops and offices around the county.
Books of condolence have been opened across the city and the county at locations including Nottingham Council House and County Hall, West Bridgford.

Councillor Kay Cutts, leader of Nottinghamshire County Council, said: “I am sure I speak for all the people of Nottinghamshire by expressing our deep condolences to the families and friends of the innocent people who lost their lives or were injured in the attack at London Bridge and Borough Market in London on Saturday. We stand together with all those affected.
“Just as at Westminster and Manchester recently, the bravery and professionalism of our emergency services was incredible. I would like to add our tributes for their swift and comprehensive response.
“These despicable, cowardly terrorists have attacked people out enjoying themselves in a blatant attempt to unnerve the public and disrupt the freedoms that are at the very core of British values. But we will not let them and the subsequent ‘business as usual’ response from all Londoners sends a clear message that terrorism will never succeed.”
Nottingham City Council leader Jon Collins said after Saturday night’s attack: “This was a criminal and cowardly attack on innocent people simply going about their business on a night out in London.”
