The attack signalled the start of another bombing campaign against Londoners.
It took just seconds for a fire to begin ripping through the heart of the UK’s democracy Fifty years ago, the House of Commons descended into darkness and chaos after an explosion went off in the heart of the chambers. A 9.1 kg bomb was planted in Westminster Palace by the IRA, injuring 11 people and signalling the start of a renewed bombing campaign in England.
30am, a man with an Irish accent phoned Press Association, giving the receiver a six minute warning an explosion will go off in Westminster. A gas main was fractured in the blast only adding fuel to the blaze Police recognised the IRA code word used, and with no exact location of the bomb given, there was a scramble to evacuate everyone safely. Just minutes later, the bomb exploded in an annex in the corner of Westminster Hall before everyone was able to be evacuated.
