A London Underground driver has stopped his train to salute people commemorating the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire.
Members of the North Kensington community gathered on Wednesday, the eve of the first anniversary, to remember the 72 people who died in the blaze.
The video shows the driver stop his train on a bridge leading to Latimer Road station. He emerged from the front of the train and unfurled a green banner.
He shouted words of support to people gathered and sounded the horn and was met with applause.
A number of buildings including London Eye and 10 Downing Street turned green in the early hours of Thursday to mark the anniversary.
The displays are part of a series of commemorations and vigils taking place this week as the public inquiry has temporarily paused.
From 11am, there will be a service of remembrance at St Helen’s church organised by campaign group Relative Justice Humanity for Grenfell.
Clarrie Mendy, who lost two family members in the fire and organised the anniversary event, said the names of the 72 victims would be read out, while 73 doves will be released outside the church.
She said: “It’s a service of healing, community, inclusivity and solidarity, to know we are not alone.
“We’ll be releasing 73 white doves. Why 73 instead of 72? One for the unknown. If there were more than 72, we will put one for the unknown.”
They will be giving out 400 white roses which people will able to carry on their way to the tower afterwards.
In addition, a moment of silence will be observed at midday by survivors and bereaved gathered close to the tower’s base and nationally.
