Six people have so far been confirmed as dead following a horrific terrorist attack in London last night. 

Attackers drove a van across London Bridge, deliberately swerving and targeting pedestrians, before abandoning the vehicle and stabbing passersby in the Borough Market area - outside and within two pubs and a restaurant.
