Susan Levy was on the Piccadilly Line train beneath Russell Square when terrorist Germaine Lindsay detonated a bomb, killing 27.

Legal secretary Mrs Levy, 53, died at the Royal London Hospital following the attack.

In a statement read at her inquest, husband Harry described her as a “devoted and much-loved wife and mother of two sons”.

And his statement continued: “She was a valued and respected member of her extended Jewish family, and will be deeply mourned.”

A minute’s silence will be held at 11.30am, and families of those killed have been invited to a service at St Paul’s Cathedral.

In all, 52 people died in four terrorist attacks, three on the tube and one on a London bus.

A Hertfordshire police spokesman confirmed officers and staff would be joining in the silence.

Family liasion officers provided support in the aftermath of the atrocity to Mrs Levy’s family.

Welwyn Hatfield MP Grant Shapps said: “I well remember 7/7 because I had unusually delayed my journey to London that day in order to visit a charity in Birchwood.

“As I came out of that Hatfield visit I was told about the attack and as a result drove up to Westminster to catch up on events.

“Since the UK has just suffered its worst terrorist loss of life since 7/7, my thoughts are with the families of both 7/7 and the terrible recent attack in Tunisia.

“It’s all a constant reminder that we face a long, hard struggle against the kind of radicalisation that leads to this kind of senseless loss of life.”
