“Birmingham’s Frankfurt Christmas Market has a robust security concept that is the result of multi-agency planning that includes police security and counter-terrorism specialists,” said a joint statement from Frankfurt Christmas Market Ltd and Kurt Stroscher of Frankfurt City Council.

The statement added such incidents reaffirmed the efforts of those responsible for the Birmingham market to “constantly rethink and optimise the security concept” to achieve the greatest possible safety for visitors.
