Hendon Town Hall glowed green last night in a powerful tribute marking the eighth anniversary of the Grenfell Tower disaster that claimed 72 lives on 14 June 2017.
Barnet Council joined thousands across the UK to honour the victims and stand with survivors still fighting for justice and accountability.
Green Lighting: A Symbol of Solidarity
The green illumination of public buildings has become a striking symbol of remembrance and unity. It shows ongoing support for those affected by the tragedy — victims, families, and the community.
“We remember those who tragically lost their lives in the Grenfell Tower fire and stand with the survivors, their families, and all those affected. Lighting up Hendon Town Hall in green is our way of paying tribute and reaffirming our commitment to community safety,” said a Barnet Council spokesperson.
What is Green for Grenfell Day?
Born in the wake of the fire, Green for Grenfell Day urges schools, councils, and communities nationwide to take part in green-themed remembrances. It’s now a powerful emblem of compassion, resilience, and the ongoing fight for safer housing.
Community United in Grief and Action
Local Jewish groups also paid homage. Rabbi Michael Keller of North West 1 Synagogue said:
“The 1 is etched into our collective conscience. As a community, we stand united in grief and action.”
Last night’s united green glow sent a strong message — the memory of Grenfell’s tragedy will never be forgotten, and the fight for justice goes on.
