London attack: Prince Charles visits Travis Frain in hospital

BBC News
Travis Frain posted a picture of the visit by Prince Charles on Facebook
The Prince of Wales has visited a student who was injured in the Westminster attack.
Travis Frain was "hit head-on" by a car on Westminster Bridge as the attack began on Wednesday, suffering multiple fractures to his hand and leg.
Prince Charles paid a visit to the 19-year-old from Lancashire, who is recovering in King's College Hospital.
The Edge Hill University undergraduate posted a picture on Facebook showing the prince at his bedside.
When a friend jokingly suggested he "could have dressed up" for his visitor, Mr Frain replied: "I do what I can, with what I've got hahah."
The teenager had been visiting the Palace of Westminster with 13 other students
Mr Frain had been visiting the Palace of Westminster with 13 other students and a lecturer to watch Prime Minister's Questions.
He was walking across Westminster Bridge when he was mown down by attacker Khalid Masood's car.
Angela Frain, from Darwen, said her son escaped with his life after going over the bonnet of the car as the attack began.
Seconds later, the politics student, who wants to become an MP, called his mother to say: "Mum I'm safe... I know you will be worrying."
He needed an operation on his leg, doctors said.
He also suffered deep cuts and minor whiplash, but said: "At the end of the day, it could have been a hell of a lot worse."
Another student, 18-year-old Owen Lambert, needed stitches to a head wound, while two others received treatment for lesser injuries.
Owen Lambert was with Mr Frain on Westminster Bridge
Four people died and 50 people were injured in the attack, with 31 receiving hospital treatment.
Attacker Khalid Masood, 52, drove his car on to the pavement and into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge, before crashing the vehicle into railings and running into the grounds of Parliament.
He was armed with a knife and fatally stabbed PC Keith Palmer, before being shot dead by police.
Police have made 11 arrests and 10 people are still being questioned.

Great guy. Always talks sense.

A picture can say a thousand words. Moments after the London muslim terrorist attack a group of people ran to help a victim. One didn't.
looks like the wife of one of our weakling members.
Is she telling the truth in what she says in response to the photo?
Muslim woman on bridge during Westminster attack speaks out after becoming target of Islamophobes
she's in full stride walking past that group of people. who knows.
anyway, we know who the real victims of this attack were and she ain't one of them.
It'll not be long until we get the inevitable stories in the media about a "heroic Muslim" who helped save a person's life. We always get the "heroic Muslim" stories in the media days after an Islamist attack in order to and convince us that the attack was "nothing to do with Islam".
Maybe they are right it has nothing to do with Muslims and everything to do with Arabs.
So even though it's only Muslims doing it and they are doing it in order to kill all non-Muslims and establish a global Islamic caliphate, it has nothing to do with Muslims?
There are Muslims all over the world but the ones doing the majority of terrorist attacks seem to come from Arabic countries.
In the wake of the Westminster attack, armed police and armoured police cars are in attendance as 90,000 football fans converge on Wembley Stadium in north west London for the 2018 World Cup qualifier between England and Lithuania.

Women who gathered in London in a show of solidarity with the victims of Wednesday's terror attack have spoken of the "overwhelming" emotion they felt standing on the bridge where people were mown down.
A group of women, who said they were wearing blue as a symbol of hope, stood holding hands for five minutes on Westminster Bridge as Big Ben chimed 4pm on Sunday.
People from a range of backgrounds joined the event, organised by Women's March On London.

Three members of the public died and many more were injured after Khalid Masood sped along the bridge before storming the parliamentary estate and stabbing to death a police officer.
Fariha Khan, 40, a GP from Surbiton, said: "The feeling of what happened here on Wednesday was really strong.

"We thought of the ordinary people who were here and were mown down, standing here like this. It was very overwhelming."
She was joined by fellow Ahmadiyya Muslims who said they wanted to add to the condemnation of the violent attack and stand defiant in the face of terrorism.
Sarah Waseem, 57, from Surrey, said: "When an attack happens in London, it is an attack on me.
"It is an attack on all of us. Islam totally condemns violence of any sort. This is abhorrent to us."
Being present for the demonstration shows people in the city are united in support of democracy, said Ayesha Malik.
The 34-year-old mother-of-two, also from Surrey, said: "As a visible Muslim I think it was important to show solidarity with the principles that we all hold dear. The principles of plurality, diversity and so on."
Londoner Mary Bennett said she was present to make a "small gesture".
The retired healthcare worker said: "I am here to show that in a quiet way we continue to go where we like and do what we like in London.
"This is my city. It's a very small gesture but life is made up of small gestures."
Westminster Bridge
Opened: 24 May 1862
820ft long and 85ft wide
Designed by Thomas Page
Carries pedestrians and traffic (A302 road)
Links the boroughs of the City of Westminster (including the Houses of Parliament) on the west side of the Thames and Lambeth (including County Hall and the London Eye) on the east
The bridge is painted predominantly green, the same colour as the leather seats in the House of Commons which is on the side of the Palace of Westminster nearest to the bridge. This is in contrast to Lambeth Bridge, which is red, the same colour as the seats in the House of Lords and is on the opposite side of the Houses of Parliament.
In the 2002 British horror film 28 Days Later, the protagonist awakes from a coma to find London deserted and walks over an eerily empty Westminster Bridge whilst looking for signs of life.
Westminster Bridge is the start and finish point for the Bridges Handicap Race, a traditional London running race.
William Wordsworth wrote the sonnet Composed upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802, referring to the previous Westminster Bridge.
