This is from the Press Association.

There was a major security alert at the Palace of Westminster after a man apparently carrying a knife charged through the gates into the front yard of the parliamentary compound.

Amid shouts and screams, sounds similar to gunfire rang out.

Two people were seen to be lying within Old Palace Yard, immediately outside Westminster Hall.

The sitting in the House of Commons was suspended while police officers sealed off the area around the incident.

Immediately before the incident, at around 2.45pm, a crowd of passers-by was seen running from the direction of Westminster Bridge and around the corner into Parliament Square.

Why are people "liking" these posts, or don't I understand twitter (wouldn't surprise me)!

I think a lot of people treat 'likes' as more of a 'bookmark to view later' function rather than an 'express approval' one

Just seen a picture of a crashed car with someone that appears at the front crushed or knocked over with his hands in the air and people surrounding him also French reporting six people injured.

Very odd
