A church deacon from Bretton in
Peterborough, James Adams was a deeply Christian man with a
tolerance of all faiths. The 32-year-old mortgage adviser was
caught in the Piccadilly line Tube blast
while on his way to work in the Strand. He called his mother from
King's Cross to let her know he had arrived safely and was about
to board the tube. He was a member of the Bretton Baptist Church,
where he had been a deacon for two years. His parents, Elaine and
Ernest Adams, said in a statement: "James was a deeply loved son
and brother, who lived and loved life to the full. "We do not know
who is ultimately responsible for our loss but we do not hold any
religion or faith accountable." His funeral service was packed
with mourners and among those who paid tribute was the Labour MP
for Tottenham, David Lammy. Mr Adams told mourners: "He was more
than a son to us, he was our best friend."
