LONDON (Sputnik) — On the night of June 19, Darren Osborne, 47, rammed a van into pedestrians near the mosque at Finsbury Park in North London. Police said that at least one person was killed and 10 more were injured. This attack was the latest in the line of deadly terror incidents, which have shaken the United Kingdom over recent months.

"A minute​’s silence will be held at 12 noon on Monday 26 June in remembrance of those affected by the terrorist attack in Finsbury Park on Monday. The silence will be marked at all government buildings and other organisations may follow suit," the Prime Minister's Office said in a statement.
