London - Queen Elizabeth II has made a "substantial donation" to a fund set up to help the families of people killed and injured in last week's terror attacks on London, Buckingham Palace said Tuesday.
Without confirming the sum given, a spokeswoman said the monarch recognized that the aftermath of the terrorist bombings would lead to financial hardships.
The fund was set up by London Mayor Ken Livingstone and the British Red Cross to provide financial assistance to the dependants of people killed in the four explosions.
