BBC Local LiveA butcher from Redditch was in Westminster yesterday for an awards ceremony and was locked in Parliament for more than six hours, following the terror attack in London.
Four people have died and at least 40 others were injured - seven are in a critical condition.
Pete Loughton spoke to BBC Hereford and Worcester after the attack, which happened metres from where he was sitting.
Image source, Getty ImagesQuote MessageThe House of Lords was completely locked down, nobody was allowed in or out. My thoughts are with the poor people who have been injured. We were let out about 20:45 and got home about midnight. We weren't told an awful lot. We were just very shocked. You could see things happening in the background but no-one knew what was going on outside

Birmingham determined to carry on despite police action on its doorstep linked to Westminster terror published at 11:12 Greenwich Mean Time 23 March 2017
Daz Hale
BBC WMThere's a strange atmosphere and a bit of eerieness down here on Hagley Road, Birmingham today, where a flat was raided by police.
I don't think there is any doubt Birmingham has been on alert for some time now - during the Birmingham Christmas Market bollards were installed and we've heard recently about anti-terror measures which involved felling what was thought to be the city's oldest tree .
A lot of people I have spoken to have said they felt it was "when and not if" something like this happened.
Although shocked, there is a determination from people they are not going to change anything because, if they did, it would be an admission the terrorists have won.
