velcro, may Eilidh always be young, free and happy in your memories and the pain of your loss be lessened by these thoughts.

Condolences to you and Eilidh's family and friends.

Velcro, you have my deepest sympathies and well wishes. I cannot know how you feel, though I have come close to losing a loved one in an RTA, it really can't compare.

There will be a glass raised in Dublin tonight for Eilidh, for you, and for both your families.

Take care man.

+1 to a contribution to a cause Eilidh believed in

Really, really sorry to hear this. It's so hard to find comfort at a time like this, but you know that everyone's thoughts here are with you.

I can only echo what other's have already said. That is terrible news and my thoughts are with you and your families and friends.

fuck man, words can't express. my sympathies.

some sort of forum response when the time is right would be great.

i'm so sorry for your loss velcro, this is truely sad.
when the time is right i'd really like to be involved in something constructive
memorial ride, HGV safety campaigning or whatever.

Awful.. Extend my condolences. Just awful.

So desperately sorry to hear this...my deepest sympathies are with you Velcro, and with Eilidh's family and friends.

I read the starter of this thread yesterday, gulped, and hoped she would be okay. I mentioned the accident to a friend of mine and we talked about the dangers of London, and the horribly close calls we've had over the years. I was so, so shocked to when Velcro told us the news. It's genuinely really jolted me.

Velcro, I don't know you, but seriously, I hope you can take something away from the fact that so many people on here clearly care a lot - most it seems without even knowing you well or at all. It's not much, but its something. All the best, mate.

Ride safe everyone (that phrase never felt so important)

...how tragic.

R.I.P.

so sad to hear that... im feeling with you!

Velcro,all sympathies to you and Eilidhs family at this terrible time.Cant imagine what you're going through,man.

Awful news, sad day.

deepest sympathies to you Giles and Eilidh's family.
anything that happens from here, i will gladly help/contribute.

makes everything else seem a little less important. keep strong.

this are terrible news! deepest sympanthy.

Sorry to hear this tragic news, deepest sympathy to you all.

To keep the condolences in this thread and not swamp it with messages about ghost bikes and charities... a thread for doing something is over here: http://www.londonfgss.com/thread16235.html

Deepest sympathies, truly dreadful news.

It's hard to express in a way that sounds appropriate such sincere feelings on an internet forum, but even without knowing you, Velcro, you and those close to Eilidh have my most heartfelt condolences.

Fuck. What utterly tragic and sad news, my thoughts and condolences are with you Velcro (Along with everyone else), this has shaken me up being so close to home on a road i know well...

R.I.P Eilidh

Ride safe kids...

So sad, Velcro all our thoughts are with you.

We have heard that this crash happened at a pedestrian crossing and it was a big tipper lorry, yet again. Watch out for those buggers.

Very sad news. Condolences to everyone who knew Eilidh.

Just read the thread from start to finish - utterly shocking, my deepest sympathies.

That has left me in shock...
A post that you never want to read.
Can't imagine what you must be feeling.
My deepest sympathies go out to all who knew and loved her.
