- Story Text:Germany's capital also joined in the tribute to the victims of the London attack near parliament in which four people died and some 40 were injured on Wednesday (March 22).
One of Berlin's most famous landmarks, the Brandenburg Gate, was illuminated in the colours of the British flag on Thursday (March 23) night.
Visitors and tourists expressed their sadness and compassion about the victims of the attack, saying that they feared that it could happen everywhere.
The attacker, who was among the dead, has been named as British-born Khalid Masood, 52, who was once investigated by intelligence officers over concerns about violent extremism.
In all, people of 11 nationalities were caught up in the violence as Masood ploughed into pedestrians before running through the gates of the parliament building and fatally stabbing unarmed policeman Keith Palmer.
Wednesday's attack was the deadliest in Britain since 2005, when 52 people were killed by Islamist suicide bombers on London's public transport system. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
