Your support makes all the difference.Police have named two of the three terrorists responsible for Saturday's deadly attack on London Bridge.
Khuram Shazad Butt, 27, and Rachid Redouane, 30, both from Barking, East London, were identified as the perpetrators of the knife and van attack, which killed seven people and left 49 injured.
Butt was previously known to security services but the Met Police said there was no intelligence to suggest the attack was being planned. Redouane was not known to authorities, Scotland Yard said.
Police detained a number of people in early morning raids in east London as part of the investigation into the London Bridge attack which saw the attackers ram a van into pedestrians on London Bridge before stabbing revellers in bars in the nearby Borough Market.
Isis claimed responsibility for the attack, the third major militant assault to hit Britain in less than three months.
Two of the seven people who were killed have been named, and 21 people remain critically injured in hospital.
A Canadian woman, who died in her fiance's arms after being struck by the speeding van, was named as 30-year-old Christine Archibald.
A 32-year-old man from Hackney, James McMullan, has also been identified as one of the victim's by his family.
Isis was said to have urged extremists to run over civilians in a poster released over the weekend featuring a knife, handgun and lorry urging radicals to "gain benefit from Ramadan".
The three men, wearing fake suicide bomb vests, were shot dead by eight officers outside a pub after police opened fire with an "unprecedented" hail of 50 bullets, while a bystander was also shot.
Scotland Yard said seven women and five men aged between 19 and 60 were arrested under the Terrorism Act in Barking on Sunday. A 55-year-old man was later released without charge.
A vigil was held on Monday evening near London Bridge in honour of the victims of the attack, which took place at around 10pm, while a minute's silence will take place at 11am on Tuesday.
Sadiq Khan told mourners: "As Mayor of London I want to send a clear message to the sick and evil terrorists who commit these crimes: we will defeat you you will not win.
"As a proud and patriotic British Muslim, I now say this: you do not commit these disgusting acts in my name."
Network Rail said London Bridge rail and London Underground stations reopened at 5am but the rail station will be exit only.
People from around the world were caught up as hundreds cowered in pubs and restaurants, barricading themselves inside as the attackers stalked the streets.
Tales of heroism emerged in the aftermath, with one British Transport Police officer taking on the trio armed only with his baton before being stabbed in the head, face and leg.
An off-duty Metropolitan Police officer was also injured after he tackled the men.
Forty-eight people were left in hospital, 21 critically injured.
As counter-terrorism police units and security services launched a huge investigation for the third time in a matter of weeks, officers arrested a dozen people in raids on flats in Barking, east London, where residents said they believed one of the terrorists may have lived.
One neighbour said one of the attackers had recently asked him how he could hire a van.
A former counter-terrorism chief criticised cuts in police numbers under Mrs May and said investing in the police was "literally critical".
In a blog post for HuffPost UK, Jim Gamble, who was head of Special Branch in Belfast, said: "No matter how you cut it, no matter what spin you put on diversification of resource or doing things differently, there are 20,000 fewer police now than there were in 2010.
"That's fewer eyes and ears on the street, fewer 'bobbies' building relationships, community confidence and critically creating that visible reassurance and deterrence that is key at times like this."
He said the "blanket of austerity has excused all sorts of cuts", adding: "Frontline staff do not deserve to be demonised - lest we forget 'Plebgate' - demoralised, or suffer the endless cuts on the back of 'you can do more with less' rhetoric."
Barry Gardiner, the Shadow Secretary of State for International Trade, has called for a review of the Prevent counter-terrorism strategy.

Police are also at an address on Caledon Road in Newham, east London.
A police van is parked in the middle of the road and the street of terraced houses is cordoned off at both ends.
A woman called Sonia said police raided the house next to the one she lives in at 4am. She said she was woken up with noise and could hear shouts of "On the floor, on the floor, on the floor" coming from the next door.
"And after, people screaming scared, and boom boom boom," she said, adding that she could hear an explosion and four or five gunshots. The noise was so loud and she and her housemates thought it was taking place in their house.
"We were very scared," she said, adding that glass was smashed at the front of her house. She said she believes the people who live in the house are Muslim, adding that it is a family that includes two sons.
The whole family was taken away by police after about an hour, she said.
Men in blue forensic suits could be seen walking along the street from the house.
Vijy Temcykumar also lives on the street and said she heard a "blast" followed by a "shooting sound", adding that she heard three or four shots.
"My son was crying a lot," she said.
Mohamed Ozhuparambil lives on the street and said he thinks a Bangladeshi family lives at the house raided by police.
He said three men, including a man over 65, and three women, including a teenager, were taken away in a police van. He said he heard a "bomb blasting" sound.
Another resident on the street, Ahmed Jableo, said he heard a "massive bang like a big bomb blast shooting noise".
