The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Wolverhampton held the service on the anniversary at its Bait-Ul-Ata Mosque in Willenhall Road.

Muhammad Yaseen Khan, president of the group, said: "The events of 10 years ago were a wake up call for Britain on the threat of radicalisation.

"Extremists struck at the heart of London, but rather than weakening us they strengthened the resolve of all Londoners and indeed of all Britons.

"We offered a special remembrance service in the wake of 7/7 at our Mosque in Wolverhampton, to bring communities together and to show our solidarity as a country."

He added: "As we mark this anniversary it is our heartfelt prayer that we never see another 7/7 in London or anywhere in the world."
