- The UK has gathered to remember the 72 victims of the Grenfell Tower fire with moments of silence being marked by victims' families. 72 people died as a result of the devastating high-rise blaze on June 14, 2017.
Among the first memorials was a vigil at a church near to the block, where the names of the 72 victims were read out at 1.30am - near to the time of the fire's breaking out. Grenfell, Downing Street and the London Eye were then among several buildings to be lit up in green in a show of solidarity.
The tributes come as latest figures show that 68 families from Grenfell will spend the anniversary in emergency accommodation, mainly hotels.
Some 52 households are in temporary accommodation and 83 families are in permanent homes, according to Kensington and Chelsea Council.
The issue of re-housing residents who lived in the tower block has been a source of constant pressure for the government, which has been criticised for not doing enough to permanently re-home those affected.
