The UK's terror threat level has been raised from severe to critical, meaning an attack is considered imminent.
Prime Minister Theresa May announced the decision from Downing Street.
The move means that military personnel could be deployed to support armed police officers.
"It is a possibility that we cannot ignore that there a wider group of individuals linked to this attack," Mrs May said.
She said that the threat level was under constant review.
"The change in the threat level means there will be additional support available to the police as they work to keep us safe," she said.

Police are on the lookout for no groups in particular, and certainly no minorities of uncertain national identity.

But they’ll continue to build bridges instead of walls. Are the welcome wagons still in operation?

Thank goodness, Primer League Soccer ended on Sunday.
Still more "football" and the Prom's begin in a few weeks. The last night of the Prom's is the patriotic one with huge crowds all around the country.
