EALING Town Hall will be lit green from dusk today (June 14) to commemorate the fourth anniversary of the Grenfell Tower tragedy.

This year, due to the pandemic, the annual Silent Walk organised by Grenfell United will not be going ahead, but the walk route will be decorated with green artworks and everyone is encouraged to place a green heart on their windows.

Churches up and down the country – including St Barnabas in Pitshanger – will join together and ring their bells 72 times at 7pm to remember the 72 people who lost their lives.

Leader of Ealing Council, Peter Mason, said: "The tragedy of June 14 2017 will never be forgotten and we are committed to commemorating, remembering and securing accountability for what happened.

"We're committed to ensuring people have safe places to live and to investing in our buildings.

"We also want to empower our council tenants to always keep us accountable."
