At 2.50pm today local time, Boston came to a standstill as it remembered the victims of the bombing attack which occurred at the finish line of the marathon last Monday.
The entire city witnessed one of its most heartbreaking and incomprehensible attacks on Monday when a pair of explosions killed three people and injured hundreds of others at the finish line of what is mostly a charity event.
The incident sparked a week of events in the city that resulted in one of the suspects being taken into custody while the other died in hospital following a shoot out.
A minute silence was observed right across the city, including the Watertown Police Department where many of the police officers had been involved in the manhunt.
President Obama was also said to have marked the silence, according to the White House.
