The parent company of the Daily Mail and London's Evening Standard has pledged £250,000 to a fund launched to assist victims of the terror blast and their families.

The capital's Mayor Ken Livingstone has joined forces with the British Red Cross to establish the London Bombings Relief Fund.

The Daily Mail and General Trust will contribute £150,000, along with £100,000 from the Standard.

Chairman Lord Rothermere said: 'Everyone at DMGT

feels deeply shocked and sickened by Thursday's horrific events. We are proud that the company has donated a substantial sum of money to this appeal.'

He called on other companies to follow suit. Some have already responded with offers of financial support.

Mr Livingstone said: 'We cannot make up for what the victims have lost. But every single thing that can be done will be done.'

He said all Londoners should contribute to the fund because 'it could equally have been your son or daughter, your husband or wife, your loved one'.

Donations can be made online at www.redcross.org.uk/londonrelief, by telephone on 08705 125 125, or posted to LBRF c/o Mayor of London, FREEPOST LON18968, Sheffield S98 1ZA.
