Scott said: ‘I drove one of three vans in a police convoy but when we got there a female sergeant told us to go to Aldgate East.Shehzad Tanweer, 22, had triggered a bomb at 8.50am at the back of the second carriage of an eastbound Circle Line train shortly after leaving Liverpool Street Station. Seven people were murdered.
