Nearly nine years after the Grenfell Tower fire, survivors and bereaved families gather in west London for an anniversary event today. Multiple outlets report that the commemoration comes ahead of the planned demolition of the tower block, which they describe as the final anniversary before the building is fully removed from the skyline. The events are framed as a chance for reflection and remembrance, with participants including those directly affected by the fire.

Overall, the coverage focuses on the planned gathering and ceremony, and on the demolition timeline that makes this anniversary distinct from previous years.
