Nottingham is a city in grief but will never forget the names of Barnaby Webber and Grace Kumar, writes srigley
How cruel that these two bright, intelligent young people had their lives snatched away from them on the streets of the city that they had chosen to be their home.I know Nottingham well and it will be hurting this morning. People in the city will be in disbelief. Asking why? How could this happen in our city?It is a very welcoming city. Proud of its past but not afraid to look to the future.
Nottingham is the city of DH Lawrence and Jesse Boot but has also produced Vicky McClure, Stuart Broad and Bella Ramsey. Last night the city came together for an emotional vigil following the knife and van attacks which shocked the city. The flag on Nottingham’s iconic council house has been lowered to half-mast and residents are signing a book of condolence as the shock gives way to grief.Over the next few days, the reasons for these dreadful crimes will become clearer. That time will come and there are lots of questions to ask.It will be grateful for the messages of support that have come in from around the world and when the dust settles the dreadful events of Tuesday morning and the names of the dead will not be forgotten.
