Young people remember the night the tower burned

Nathan was six when a fire ripped through Grenfell Tower, claiming 72 lives, including that of his best friend.

He described it as “a normal night and I was just asleep, and then I got woken up to my mum screaming”.

Sorena was seven at the time. Now a teenager, he said he believes there have been “many words but not many actions”.

Eight years after the tragedy, young people have been reflecting on their memories of the night of 14 June, 2017.
