The UK’s first national day for victims and survivors of terrorism will ensure those affected are remembered but also raise awareness among the public about helping to prevent such atrocities, a man injured in an attack almost a decade ago has said.

Friday marks the inaugural National Day for Victims and Survivors of Terrorism – a date chosen to coincide with the United Nations International Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism.
