TWENTY years after the first suicide bombings to take place on English soil, BBC Two and iPlayer are to air the definitive story of the attacks and their aftermath, in 7/7: The London Bombings.
One of the victims was Old Harlow resident, Anne Moffatt.
Anne Moffat was born on 25 December 1956 in Lanark, Scotland, the daughter of Thomas Anderson Moffat (1918-1992) and Anne Moffat née Chambers (1922-2002).
She was a communications manager for Girlguiding UK and lived in Old Harlow. Her obituary can be found on the BBC News website.
She died, aged 48 years, on 7 July 2005 in the underground tunnel of the Circle Line on the London Underground Railway between Liverpool Street and Aldgate underground stations that was targeted by a suicide bomber. The narrative verdict of her death can be found on the Coroner’s Inquest Report.
Anne’s brother Chris spoke at the inquest. We understand that Chris passed away some time ago.

More on the documentary
Made by the team behind the multi-award-winning BBC documentary, 9/11 Inside: The President’s War Room, this 4 x 60-minute series is the story of the biggest police investigation in British history – the three-week hunt to catch all the bombers, which included a tragic police mistake.
7/7: The London Bombings starts on Sunday 5 January and Monday 6 January at 9pm, on BBC Two. The entire series streams on BBC iPlayer from Sunday 5 January.
On 7 July 2005, four bombs were detonated on London’s transport system, blowing up three trains and a bus. 52 people were killed. Hundreds injured. From the worst attack of its kind in the UK, began one of the most chaotic and significant moments in the history of our capital city and the police and security services who protect it. Another series of attempted bombings followed and in the subsequent manhunt, the police shot dead an innocent man – Jean Charles de Menezes.
This series follows the investigation forensically and painstakingly, minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day.
It tells the story from the perspective of the victims on the ground, revealing how survivors had to reconcile themselves with life-changing injuries, and it pieces together the emergency response as first responders scrambled to act in the epicentre of the crisis.
