Councillor Steve Curran, Leader of Hounslow Council, said:

“We were all deeply shocked by the horrific shooting in Orlando, Florida, at the weekend.

“We are flying the Rainbow [Pride] flag at half-mast outside the Civic Centre, to show our solidarity with the LGBT community.

“On behalf of everyone at Hounslow Council, I send our sincere condolences to all the families and friends of the victims and all our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Orlando at this terrible time.”
