This year marks the 5th anniversary of the Grenfell Tower Fire, and in remembrance of these people and their families, West Minister Abbey held a memorial service.<\/p>\n
Dr. Hoyle opened the service by noting the loss and anguish were “still vivid and sharp”, as the congregation gathered “in sorrow and in pain”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
“We gather as those who look for justice and a renewed commitment to securing safety in our homes; safety in times of fire,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
“Grateful for the support of the communities and individuals that have sustained the bereaved and the survivors over the last five years, we meet in faith and hope looking to a better, safer, surer future.”<\/p>\n
During the beautiful service, the 72 victims were named and read out for everyone to hear and to take a moment to grieve.<\/p>\n
Journalist Jon Snow was invited to speak at the service.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
