H&F marks nine years since Grenfell Tower fire with local memorials
By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
Hammersmith and Fulham Council is commemorating the ninth anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire this week, with a series of memorial events taking place across the borough.
The Edward Woods Estate will be lit up as part of the commemoration, and the Grenfell flag will be flown as a mark of respect for the 72 people who died in the fire on 14 June 2017. The disaster, which occurred just across the borough boundary in North Kensington, had a profound effect on communities throughout Hammersmith and Fulham, many of whom lost neighbours, friends and family members.
The anniversary falls on Saturday 14 June. Residents who wish to pay their respects are encouraged to check the council's events page for details of public gatherings and moments of silence being organised in the borough.
The council has been involved in building safety work in the years since the fire, and the commemorations serve as a reminder of the ongoing importance of that work for local communities. Full details are available on the H&F Council website.
