• Notes

  Killed in 7th July bomb attack on the London Underground. Head of Marketing for Girl Guiding UK. Anne Moffat: "shed so much light on so many other people's lives" before she fell victim to the deadly July 7 mission, the inquest heard to day. Born on Christmas day, her brother Chris described her as "a Christmas gift to all who knew her". In a statement read to the court he said: "You never really appreciate the light emitted by a candle in a darkened room until the candle is extinguished. This sums up Anne as she shed so much light on so many other people's lives." The inquest heard that Ms Moffat, 48, worked for Girlguiding UK for some 20 years, eventually rising to become head of marketing and communication. She had enjoyed gardening and reading. "Everyone who ever knew Anne respected her qualities of honesty and integrity," Mr Moffat said. "She would always put others ahead of herself, showing her caring and giving nature." The inquest heard that Ms Moffat had studied art in Hull before moving to London, but she returned to the family home in Old Harlow, Essex, in 1996 to look after her ailing mother, who died in 2002. She had been on her way to work when she was caught in the explosion caused by 22-year-old Shehzad Tanweer. When she was found in the aftermath of the blast on the Aldgate train, a Make Poverty History booklet was discovered in her handbag, the inquest was told
