People are invited to honour the victims of the Tunisia terror attack at a one minute silence today.

The Wimbledon championships will come to a standstill for one minute, as will Merton Council, which is hosting a public memorial outside the Civic Offices.

Silence will descend on Merton at noon to honour those who tragically lost their lives in a Tunisia gun attack, including Janet and John Stocker.

Mrs Stocker worked at Sainsburys in north Cheam, and it has been reported the couple lived in Morden.

Proceedings at the Civic Centre in Morden will begin at 11.55am with Reverend Andrew Wakefield, who will lead into the one minute silence. The Imam of Wimbledon mosque Molana Mohammad Shauib will conclude the event.

Council leader Stephen Alambritis and the mayor of Merton councillor David Chung have already signed a book of condolence at the centre, which is available for the public to sign.

Coun Alambritis said: "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of those who lost their lives. What happened in Tunisia has shocked the world. It is important, now more than ever, that all our communities come together to support and promote peace."

The event comes days after the community pulled together to carry on with an Armed Forces Day parade on Saturday despite a threat by so-called Islamic State to detonate a bomb.

The plot was foiled by police and it continued as normal.

Richard Lewis, chief executive of the All England Club, said: "Wimbledon will be joining the national minute’s silence and we will be asking all those in the grounds at the time to observe the silence out of respect to the victims in Tunisia and their families."

Play on the outside courts will start at 12.15pm instead of 11.30am.
