  11. 'The families want a service from the council'published at 11:39 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2017

    Professor Chris Imafidon says he knows of 20 people who were made homeless by the Grenfell fire and have been let down by the local authority.

    He said: "It is a very sad day. But the families want a service from the council, not a church service.

    "This is just a big distraction from the fact that six months on - many families are still homeless and will be spending Christmas in a hotel."

  17. "Far too many... living with uncertainty"published at 11:28 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2017

    Dr Graham Tomlin, Bishop of Kensington, said there were still "far too many" survivors living in hotels and "living with uncertainty".

    "The evening of 13 June was an evening like any other in London," he said. "It had been a hot day and the sun went down on a calm and gentle night.

    "Yet that night was to change the lives of so many. Since then, it has been a long six months. Many still struggle with their memories."

    But he said the aftermath saw "something extraordinary" as people from across the capital came to help.

    "We saw acts of simple but remarkable generosity," added Dr Tomlin.
