- Alert puts 6,000 armed police on streets
Britain was in the grip of a security crackdown last night after the terrorist attacks in London and Glasgow.
Police officers at London's City airport: Alert puts 6,000 armed police on streets. Police officers searched vans approaching London's City airport.
Up to 6,000 armed police officers were on the streets, sources said.
Jacqui Smith, the Home Secretary, told MPs that security had been tightened at more than 450 sporting venues and around 400 shopping centres across the country. Concrete blocks were set up at Wimbledon yesterday to stop anyone from ramming the All England Club. Organisers of Thursday's Henley Royal Regatta are looking at whether to move public car parks away from the Thames.
Office workers and commuters also found themselves subject to more rigorous checks.
