It could be anywhere - we don't know.

We just have to carry on with our lives - what's the alternative?

Stupidly scary. We're meant to be attending a wedding at a hotel this weekend and I honestly don't even want to go. Petrifying.

I'm in London too, use the tubes and buses and bridges every day. It's scary, but what can you do?

I don't really see the point on the 'imminent' alert status. Either there's a known terror threat, in which case it's best to eliminate that without drawing too much attention to the fact, or there's not, in which case panicking people will achieve nothing.

The threat has been imminent for a long time now, you have to trust our security services and our police and carry on

Not to take away from the atrocity of terror attacks but statistically you are more likely to be killed or injured in a road accident. Just to put things into perspective

She just gave a press conference where she raised the threat level to critical and has called in the military to assist at things like music festivals etc.
Critical status means an attack is either underway or imminent.
