Thousands of green-clad protesters take part in Grenfell Solidarity March

More than 2000 people marched the streets of London to Downing Street today to demand justice for the victims of the Grenfell Tower.  

The Justice for Grenfell Solidarity March was organised to ask the current public enquiry into the disaster gets justice for the victims of it.

Survivors and supporters made their way from the Home Office to Downing Street holding ‘no justice no peace’ banners and wearing green to show solidarity for victims.

At the march, which was organised by the Fire Brigades Union and Justice for Grenfell, Labour Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell and MP for Kensington Emma Dent Coad gave heartfelt speeches.

Mr McDonnell said: ‘Like we have said in the slogan, no justice, no peace we want justice and truth from this enquiry.

‘Justice means, holding to account those that through their actions were responsible for the 72 deaths.’

He added that the housing crisis was responsible for the tragedy.  

Today’s event comes after Thursday’s Solidarity March on the streets of Grenfell Tower, to mark a year since the disaster.
