The pictures of the victims of last week's attacks in London tell of hundreds of individual stories of sorrow. But collectively the faces staring from newspaper pages, television screens or posters stuck to the walls near blast sites reflect one of the defining characteristics of the British capital: its remarkable cultural diversity.
From the Polish IT worker and the accountant from Mauritius to the Muslim Tunisian student working as waiter or the Italian economist, the victims reflect the wide range of nationalities and religions that make up the 7.2m inhabitants of the city a third of whom come from abroad.
