A group of schoolchildren trapped during a security operation after a terror attack on London’s parliament have “lifted people’s spirits” by breaking out in song.
A member of staff travelling with the 53 students from St John & St Francis Church School in Bridgwater posted on Twitter that the group was safe and having a “sing song”.
We’re all sat in the centre of the #housesofparliament. We are safe, happy and lightening the mood with a sing song

The buildings of the Houses of Parliament went into lock down after a man mowed down pedestrians on Westminster Bridge, before crashing his car into the gates of the Palace of Westminster and stabbing a police officer.
