British prime minister Tony Blair is leaving the G8 summit in Scotland this afternoon to return to London, following the terrorist attacks across the capital this morning.
Blair has spoken of the "terrible events" that have occurred at seven locations during London's rush hour and the timing of the attacks, which coincide with the second day of the international summit.
"It is my intention to leave the G8 in the next few hours to get a report on the attacks... It is particularly barbaric this has happened on a day when people are meeting to help the world's poor," Blair said.
"It is important, however, that those engaged in terrorism realise that our determination to defend our values and ways of lives is greater than their desire to impose death and destruction..."
The seven other leaders at the summit are due to make a statement later today.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
