Borough Market reopened on Wednesday morning after it was closed for 11 days. A spokesperson for Kensington Palace said: "Prince Harry was keen to come down as soon as possible to spread the message this vibrant market is open for business."

The Prince spoke to baker Matt Jones at the "Bread Ahead" stall, whose staff protected members of the public the attackers as they went on the violent rampage, The Evening Standard reports.

"The strength of this community and London as a whole is magic," the prince told Jones.

Speaking to Harry, Jones said: "The business was in full operation. I was at home at the time but I had staff working on the night of the attack. Two of them got involved throwing bread crates at the attackers to try and save one of the women being attacked. It was really bad."

He added: "Yesterday saw so many regular customers coming back. A lot of customers buy their bread here. Harry coming here is great for business."

Harry also met with Borough Market security officer Ganga Garbuja, who was one of the first on the scene during the attacks and led many people to safety.
