Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attend service at Grenfell Tower
They also met those affected in private
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are attending a multi-faith service at the base of the Grenfell Tower to mark the 5th anniversary of the tragedy.
The Prince and Princess also privately met survivors of the fire and those who lost loved ones.
The service, organised by the campaign group Grenfell United, is being live-streamed on screens positioned in the surrounding area so the wider community and public can watch:
Cording has been removed to allow survivors, the bereaved and members of the community to gather at the tower for a seated service that will include prayers, readings and choir performances.
At the end of the service, the duke and duchess will take part in the laying of wreaths and flowers.
