Hundreds of people partook in a silent march for those lost in Grenfell tower today, on the 14th of June 2017, the fire began to blaze from the fourth floor, killing a number mainstream media publications still refuse to publish. One year on from the tragedy, a silent protest followed a memorial service held at St Helen’s church near the tower, in West London. Labour MP Lammy, who spoke at the service, said it was a “bittersweet” moment where the community came together to celebrate their unity, and the lives of those who once were amongst us, whilst mourning their loss at the same time. Just one year on, and community members are still left feeling shocked, and in a state of loss as to how this could have taken place in the richest borough in London. A 72-second national silence was also held at midday, where members of parliament, and the monarchy including the Queen, and the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle stood in silence commemorating our loss. An image that has left a bitter taste in the mouths of many who saw no real support from the government, or council at the time of the tragedy. Artists, activist, community members alike commemorated the loss by sharing an image of the carcass of the tower lit up in the Grenfell colour green, with the slogan “forever in our hearts.” We take this time to make dua on what could be our last fast, May Allah grant the families who have passed the highest rank in Jennah, may their graves be wide, warm, and safe in the company of their good deeds. May they be at peace, may they be forgiven, and justice served to their families who must still yearn, cry, and wait until they meet with them again in a far more beautiful place. Rest in Peace.
A year on 🙏🏾❤️ #Grenfell pic.twitter.com/btzE63I67n

May you Rest in Peace Khadija Saye. Khadija was a beautiful soul and a visionary young artist whose life was tragically cut short by the Grenfell Tower fire. The loss of a young woman with so much talent, joy and beauty is heart-breaking and tragic.pic.twitter.com/JswYWBtGOq
