Today marks 20 years since the 7/7 bombings struck London.

On that day, 52 people were killed, with many more injured.

We remember all those who lost their lives and were – and continue to be – impacted by the events of that day.

Feels close. Hopefully will rain soon. Amazed that crops can grown in such dry soil.

What would the kidney sound like, expressed as orchestral music?

Fascinating programme about the Organ Symphony, which "brings to life the stories of five people and their relationship with one of their vital organs."
