London landmarks lit green to commemorate Grenfell fire one year on

Grenfell Tower and 12 nearby high rises have all been illuminated green in memory of the 72 people who died

A series of tower blocks and London landmarks have been bathed in a green light to commemorate the fire that killed 72 people one year ago today. Britain's largest blaze since the Second World War has left 68 families still living in emergency accommodation, according to the latest figures. 13 buildings were illuminated exactly 12 months on from the fire's first 999 call, 12.54am on Thursday. The lights stayed on until 5am and the buildings will light up for the next four evenings, from 8pm until midnight. Later this morning a service of remembrance will be held at St Helen's Church. https://twitter.com/TheLondonEye/status/1006961936540553233 https://twitter.com/BenAndo/status/1007051172400820226 https://twitter.com/LesleySeary/status/1007149388337172481 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bj-5kDmFBu3/?tagged=grenfell https://twitter.com/MayorofLondon/status/1007193182055075840 https://twitter.com/grenfellspeaks/status/1007057897984024581 During a ceremony to commemorate the one year anniversary, a tube driver stopped his train on the tracks to make his own personal tribute. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bj_pB-bFqBP/?tagged=grenfell It comes as Theresa May made a personal apology for not meeting survivors of the tragedy when she visited Grenfell the following day. She said it was something she would "always regret."
