Today's message of hope struck a chord with the congregation.

I think the Dean perfectly summed up what has been important in this

And the understanding that people here now have

of how people in Barcelona are feeling this weekend.

It made me think back to June and it made me think back to the experience

And made us feel very close and connected

The service closed with a commemoration

of the Marchioness disaster, a pleasure boat which sank 28 years

The Dean explained that, like the victims of recent terror

attacks, those who perished were from varied and different

A huge fire broke out overnight at a packing warehouse in Basildon.

At its height, around 100 firefighters tackled

the blaze in Festival Way, which destroyed the building.

There are no reports of any injuries and an investigation is underway

As Alice Salfield reports, unions have already planned

After 21 years, South West Trains is no more.

In comes a new company operating the franchise.

A rather quiet start this morning, with a mixed

For me, I haven't had any problems with them.

I tend to commute before the rush-hour so at that time

of the morning it has not been a problem.

Have you noticed any difference today?

There is nothing much that has been communicated to us about how

I am just annoyed the passengers weren't asked for their opinion.

But it is not the ideal time for South Western Railway

Works to increase capacity at Waterloo mean that 14

And customers are already being advised to make

We have got just over a week of those works still to do
