Following the terror attack in Westminster, people reacted differently: Many mourned, many promoted solidarity, and many argued that London would never be afraid. Some, however, prompted further disunity.
Jack Dean, a YouTuber and presenter from Norwich, saw that the only option following such devastation was for people to come together and make a difference.
In a YouTube video posted to his popular channel, he reflected on the bravery shown by the police and emergency services during the attack, who he labeled as 'heroes'.
The Norwich YouTuber then urged his fans to consider donating towards a fundraiser in aid of the Police Dependants' Trust (PDT). This was set up by Mr Dean via JustGiving in honour of the late PC Keith Palmer, who lost his tragically lost his life in the attack.
The PDT, which began in 1966, is a charitable organisation that provides financial and welfare support for the families of injured or killed police officers.
One example of PDT's fantastic work is explained by Rita Bhogal, whose husband PC Perviz Ahmed was killed in a traffic incident while returning home from work.
Mrs Bhogal, and her son Aaron, were left devastated - the PDT stepped in to provide them with crucial support.
She said: 'With me not having a job at the moment and concentrating just on life with me and Aaron… It's meant I haven't had to worry. I've just needed to worry about how, emotionally, we get through this as a family.'
Mr Dean's fundraiser saw people from across the country, all with different backgrounds and beliefs, generously donate well over the original £2,000 goal in just 24 hours. The total amount raised has now passed £2,500.
However, the YouTuber remains humble about his and his fans' achievement, and said: 'I just thought it'd be good to voice my opinion and do some good at the same time.'
He did, though, feel the need to point out the apathetic attitude of other popular YouTubers, who also have large audiences. They are 'so quick to make videos discussing Bieber's new haircut', but are 'quiet when it comes to things that matter'.
During the video, he examined the relationship between young people and the police - with young people often expressing their hatred through derogatory slurs.
Now, looking back, he said: 'As a teen I had a strong distaste for the police, just because it was the cool way to act. I never sat down and actually thought about where this hatred came from.
'In my lifetime, whenever I may have needed the help of the police, they have been there.'
To others who may not have matured in the same way, he added: 'It's not cool to hate police, so just have a think about it.'
This fundraiser, along with the unity shown by Britons in the wake of the attack, exhibits the resilience of the nation, but also underlines the fact that terrorism is not winning. We can all do more to help and we will not be afraid.
