A memorial service took place at St Paul’s Cathedral on Thursday to honour the victims of June’s Grenfell Tower tragedy in London.

People from all walks of life attended the event to remember the 71 people who died as a result of the tower block fire.

Survivors, bereaved families, the local community and first responders were joined by the Prince of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry at the event at St Paul’s Cathedral in central London.

Singer Adele, who has voiced her support for a campaign to build public trust in the Grenfell inquiry, joined the service along with Carey Mulligan and Marcus Mumford.

Prime Minister Theresa May, Communities Secretary Sajid Javid and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn were among the politicians accompanying more than 1,500 guests for the 11am service

The Bishop of Kensington told the community at the heart of the Grenfell Tower fire of his hope that the tower may one day become “a symbol of the time we learnt a new and better way”.
