The Sun Online - News: Pray for all the missing

A UK tabloid newspaper displays pictures of loved ones not located since the London bomb attacks. It's heartbreaking. But it's also a reminder that this isn't some abstract battle being waged. (And when did you last see a general circulation star-obsessed, babe-drenched, gambling-promoting publication like the Sun asking for prayers for specific everyday people?)

See also its news front page for more pictures, more stories, more people being sought - and a roll call of heroes.

UPDATE: I thought I should mention that the roll call of heroes (among other articles) includes gruesome stuff you probably will want to keep away from youngsters. (Not that you'd let your children of tender age near a risque tabloid anyway, but this is nightmare stuff, truly, even for us grown-ups.)
