KILLED in London Bombings
A devout Christian, James Adams worked as a mortgage consultant with Deloitte Touche in the Strand. He made the daily journey into the capital from Artindale, near Bretton, just outside Peterborough, where he lived alone, a mile away from his parents Ernie, a maths lecturer, and Elaine.
Adams entered King's School, Peterborough, in 1983 and remained there to study A levels in history, economics and religious education. He also served as a chorister at Peterborough Cathedral.
After training as a financial adviser he worked in the financial sector in Cambridge, but after being made redundant worked as an administrator in the Prison Service before securing his new post in London just a few months ago.
He was a keen supporter of Manchester United, often visiting Old Trafford, and followed the grand prix races around Europe. One friend described his cheeky sense of fun: "If we went out as a group for a meal he would always be the one to wangle some free poppadoms. He would get himself into the pit lanes and have photographs taken of himself next to Formula One cars."
He was a member of a group that set itself the challenge of flying abroad once a year on a maximum budget of £40. In recent years he managed to reach Barcelona, Milan and Rome on this budget.
Adams had been a friend of David Lammy, the Culture Minister, since their schooldays, and the two had maintained contact. Lammy said Adams was a "very gentle, funny, generous, kind-hearted guy".
Until recently Adams served as a deacon at Bretton Baptist Church, where he worshipped regularly. A fellow member of the congregation said: "He was always ready at any time to be with the Lord, and we take great comfort in that."
He had an older sister.
