A minute's silence has been held in Aberdeen in memory of those who lost their lives in the London Bridge terror attack.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon showed her respect for the seven victims of the atrocity by joining in the silence on Holburn Street.

The silent tribute comes just three days after a van-load of terrorists armed with knives drove into pedestrians on London Bridge before getting out and stabbing passers-by chosen at random.

As well as the seven dead, another 48 people were injured in the attack with 36 still in hospital and as many as 18 described as being in a critical condition.

Thousands attended a minute's silence on Monday night at a vigil next to Tower Bridge, a short walk away from the scene of the weekend attack.

Two of the three terrorists, who were all shot dead by armed police responding to the incident, have been named as Rachid Redouane and Khuram Butt with the third perpetrator still to be identified.
