Our London and our thoughts....

Friday July 08 2005

Amici would like to express how shocked, horrified and deeply distressed we were to learn of the devastating carnage that took place in our City yesterday.

Our hearts go out to all those involved in the terrible carnage and to those who were injured, mentally, physically and to those poor people and their loved ones who went to work and tragically never came home. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of everyone involved in this appalling and inhumane act.

We would also like to express our gratitude to everyone who emailed in and posted on the site enquiring as to our well being.

Our thoughts and prayers are with those less fortunate than ourselves.

 

Love Amici and their Management
