This weekend marks a poignant anniversary for the Grenfell Tower fire in west London, where families, survivors, and residents commemorate the 72 lives lost, including 18 children. As the investigation continues and demolition plans are set to begin, many bereaved families argue that the tower should remain until criminal prosecutions are pursued. Bernie Bernard, who lost her brother in the fire, insists that while she understands the necessity of demolition, it should not happen until justice is served. Some locals find the sight of the tower distressing, complicating the emotional landscape surrounding the tragedy.
"That is my brother's resting place," says Raymond's sister Bernie Bernard looking up at the tower. "He was cremated in that building."
"I understand that resting place will be disturbed but it should be disturbed respectfully and not taken away completely."
"I totally understand the tower has to come down," says Bernie. "But it should remain until the criminal case has been dealt with, until there are prosecutions."
