Shopworker Richard Ellery, 21, was on a rare trip to the capital on the morning of 7 July.

In a text to his mother at 0830 BST he said he was en route, as his train reached Liverpool Street station. But Richard never arrived at work and his parents, who live in Southampton, and his flatmate tried to contact him when they saw the news.
