Britain's Queen Elizebeth arrives for the Order of the Thistle service at St.Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland where she and other members of the Royal family observed the nationwide two minute silence in honour of the many dead and injured from last years London bombings on July 7, 2006. Britain marked the first anniversary of the London bombings on Friday in a mood of somber reflection but many still fear Islamist militants, having attacked them once might do so again.
