Grenfell Tower memorial - live updates: Survivors and relatives hold up images of loved ones who died in blaze on steps of St Paul's after service

A memorial service will be held at St Paul's Cathedral on Thursday morning to honour the 71 victims who died in the Grenfell Tower fire in west London.

Six months on from the disaster, more than 1,500 people are expected to attend the service, including Prime Minister Theresa May and members of the Royal Family.

Families of victims and survivors of the 14 June tragedy will attend the memorial alongside members of the wider community and first responders.

The service will include messages of support for the bereaved, and a banner with the Grenfell Heart - a symbol of unity over the disaster - will be displayed within the building. 

Following the service, families and survivors will leave in silence holding white roses.
