Hero Met PC Liz Kenworthy retires on anniversary of 7/7 attacks
A police officer who saved the lives of two Tube passengers during the 7/7 London bombings has retired on the 11th anniversary of the attacks.
PC Liz Kenworthy helped two fellow travellers when a suicide bomber detonated his explosives on the Circle Line train at Aldgate station.
She said she chose 7 July to leave the Met as it gave her "something positive to think about" on the day.
Fifty-two people died in the attacks, with more than 700 injured.
The bombing of three Tube trains and a bus - carried out by four bombers linked to al-Qaeda carrying rucksacks of explosives - was the worst single terrorist atrocity on British soil.
At just after 08:50 on 7 July 2005, three explosions took place on the Underground - 26 people died at Russell Square, six at Edgware Road and seven at Aldgate.
Almost an hour later, a fourth device was set off on a double-decker bus in Tavistock Square, killing 13 people.
