LONDON — British officials unveiled a memorial of 52 steel pillars in a London park today — one for each victim of the July 7, 2005, attacks on the city's transit system.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown, London Mayor Boris Johnson and the Prince of Wales and his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, attended the memorial service along with families of the victims. The stainless steel columns stand 11.5 feet tall in central London's Hyde Park.

Former Mayor Ken Livingstone, who was in office at the time of the attacks by four suicide bombers on three subway trains and a bus, praised the design of the memorial.

"I think it's just exactly right. Often, it's very difficult to do something like this and get it right," he said.

Britain's main opposition Conservative Party leader David Cameron, who attended the memorial, said some of the hundreds of wounded and the families of those killed had helped plan the statues.

As Londoners gathered for the ceremony, British lawmakers warned that the city's subway and bus network remain extremely vulnerable to attack by terrorists.

The Home Affairs Select Committee said in a report published today the city's famous Tube and bus network remain an iconic target.
