UK Prime Minister Theresa May condemned the incident and said the government is working to establish the full details of what is being treated by the police as an appalling terrorist attack. She sends condolences to the families of those who have been affected.
All political parties will suspend campaigning ahead of next month’s General Election for what will be a period of national mourning.
