Royals attend Grenfell Tower fire memorial

Prince Charles, Camilla, Prince Harry, Prince William and Catherine attended a memorial service at St. Paul's Cathedral for the Grenfell Tower victims.

Members of the royal family have joined survivors and families of those who died in London's Grenfell Tower fire for a memorial service to remember the 71 people killed in the June blaze.

Prince Charles, his wife Camilla, Prince Harry, Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge attended the multi-faith service at St. Paul's Cathedral, held exactly six months after the June 14 fire that engulfed a residential tower block in west London.

Emma Dent Coad, a politician for the neighbourhood, said "emotions are still very raw" and the service was a "recognition that people from all walks of government are going to come down and grieve with them".

A total of 71 people, including a stillborn baby, died in the fire, which quickly spread through the 24-storey public housing tower.
