Opening Thursday’s edition of the divisive talk show, Dermot, 43, reflected on the capital city and its citizens for their resilience and ability to overcome the atrocity, during which five people lost their lives, with an emotional monologue.
Addressing the audience, he said: 'The terror attacks yesterday happened just a mile away from here. Tonight we're dedicating our show to London; to the people who live here, visit here and who work hard to keep us safe here.
'People say London isn’t Britain, but to be honest I think it is. Being a Londoner has nothing to do with whether you’re born here, the colour of your skin or the faith you follow. It’s about acceptance, stoicism, tolerance and respect.
'It’s about millions of people being able to live side by side, day by day, in an exciting, vibrant, infuriating, beautiful city, and as awful as yesterday was we know that we’ll endure.
He added: 'In my – and it is my humble opinion – it will just make us stronger. We'll go on living, working, playing, moaning and queuing together. So from us here at The Nightly Show tonight, here's to London, and here's to home.' read more
