Less than 24 hours after an attack outside a mosque in Finsbury Park, hundreds of people visited the scene to lay flowers and show unity.
London mayor Sadiq Khan said, "We are a strong city and after this we are going to show we are stronger, more united. One of the things that all these terrorists share is a perverse ideology that wants to divide our community - we're not going to let them."
What do you see in the picture?
Where do you think it was taken?
Explain the story
- What do you notice about the people in the photo- are people the same ethnicity, gender, age?
- Do you think everyone in the photo shares the same religion?
- Do you think there are people in the crowd with disabilities?
- Do you think there are gay, lesbian, bisexual, trangender, straight people in the crowd?
- What does this photo demonstrate about the UK today?
- Why does the mayor say, "We are stronger, more united"?
- What can we learn from the people in this photo?
- Why is this about no outsiders?
Note: When talking about tragic events such as terror attacks to young people, explain that we know not everyone agrees with us and no outsiders. Some people want one race, one faith, one kind of person It's the opposite to us; we want lots of different races, different religions, different kinds of people. This photo of the vigil in London demonstrates that many many people agree with us. That's why it is so important that we spread our no outsiders message and keep talking about it. If you meet someone who doesn't understand about diversity and difference, talk to them.
