The UK government may be in disarray, but a rare moment of unity was seen in the chamber of the House of Commons when MPs joined together in a moment of silence to honor the victims of recent atrocities in Britain.<br /><br />Despite the recent political turbulence, MPs from all sides of the chamber observed a minutes silence before the day’s proceedings after the Queen’s opening of parliament.<br /><br />Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow began proceedings by suggesting the minute of silence.<br /><br />He said: “Let us begin by standing for a minute of silence as we remember the terrible events which have occurred in Manchester and at London Bridge, Grenfell Tower, and Finsbury Park.”<br /><br />Due to the snap election, there has not been a meeting of parliament since before the suicide bombing at Manchester Arena.<br /><br />Since then, a further three atrocities have occurred in London, including two terror attacks and a tower block fire.<br />
