James Corden has praised the spirit of the UK after the terror attack in London Bridge at the weekend.

The presenter has been hosting "The Late Late Show" from London for three nights this week.

He said he was glad to be showing off the "stoic British determination to let nothing or anybody stand in our way" in light of Saturday's attack, reported BBC.

"I'm so sad when I think about all the times since I took this job I've had to open this show talking about such atrocities. Trying to find the words to say is impossible, because there are none," Corden said.
 

The show's opening monologue saw Corden standing on the streets of London, launching the string of shows from the capital from outside Central Hall in Westminster.

The host explained why now is the perfect time "The Late Late Show" to take place in the capital city.

"Some people may say it's a strange time to do a variety show from this city. I couldn't disagree more. Just behind that building there are the Houses of Parliament. A building that represents democracy, something the people who carried out this attack hate," he said.

One of his guests, Nicole Kidman, later added she "wanted to be here to support England and London right now".

Guests also included David Beckham, Emily Blunt, Tom Cruise and Ed Sheeran, who was seen taking part in Carpool Karaoke in the first London episode.
