This picture emerged on Imgur earlier this week appearing to show two people urinating on the 7/7 memorial in Hyde Park.
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: “Police are aware of an image which shows a purported public order offence being committed at the 7/7 memorial."
"Officers are making immediate enquiries. Police take matters of this nature seriously."
I would never have known that this was a 7/7 memorial just by looking at it unless it had inscriptions. Drunk people probably wouldn't even be able to read the inscriptions, especially in the dark.I'm from london and had no idea this existed.I honestly wouldn't even know that was a memorial. It just looks like some shit art.Basically, if I was completely shitfaced I might piss on this memorial and wake up to universal hate from the entire country.
On Monday, the memorial was also covered in graffiti on the ninth anniversary of the bombings.
The stainless steel columns were covered with slogans including “Blair Lied Thousands Died” and “4Innocent Muslims”.
Glad to report graffiti seems to be coming off with ease and memorial should be clean for the service later today.
