The only Turkish national to
die in the bombings has been laid to rest in Istanbul.
Gamze Gunoral, 24, left her aunt's house in Totteridge, north
London, on the morning of 7 July.
On
her way to her language college in Hammersmith, west London, she
died on a Piccadilly line Tube train near Russell Square. Osman
Hokelek, an administrator at the Active Learning School, said:
"This is tragic, really shocking. She was a lovely girl."
Born in Istanbul and an only child, Miss Gunoral graduated from
the University of Marmara, Istanbul, with a degree in insurance
and banking.
She worked in the finance department of Gisad, Turkey's largest
textile export company, and decided to come to London to improve
her English. Miss Gunoral had been a student in the UK since May
and had just settled in and made some close friends, Ms Hokelek
said. She was looking forward to returning to Turkey with much
improved English and better equipped to continue her career. Her
mother took her body back to Turkey, where she was buried in a
ceremony in Istanbul. Courtesy
