The National Anthem was sung.
The Prime Minister the Rt Hon David Cameron MP attended the Service.
At the start of the service, Prince Harry laid a wreath at the Innocent Victims' Memorial outside the Abbey's Great West Door.
In his Bidding, the Dean of Westminster, the Very Reverend Dr John Hall, said:
Here in Westminster Abbey, where monarchs have been crowned since 1066, and where the great men and women of our history are buried and memorialised, we gather in sorrow to remember those who suffered and those who died in terrorist attacks in Tunisia on two days in 2015.
We remember with thanksgiving the people we love whose lives were so brutally cut short, and we share our loss with each of those affected by the tragedy. We honour the courage of those who survived the assault, and the families of those who suffered. We share our grief with the victims of the attacks from other countries, and with their families.
We celebrate the values that inform our national life, and pray for a world united where peoples of all nationalities and of all faiths can live together in mutual respect, peace, and harmony, enriched and united in our diversity.
