FF Matt Jackson, Kensington's branch Secretary, receives his 25year pin and Certificate from South West Area Secretary Dave Young following his last area meeting before retirement. Happy retirement Matt.
Yesterday marked 9 years since the Grenfell fire tragedy, where 72 innocent lives were lost.
Once again, firefighters stood with the community to say the names of those lost in the incident, to show solidarity with the bereaved and to walk in silence to demand justice.
Next year marks 10 years since that tragic evening - the FBU will continue to demand justice.
Nine years on from the Grenfell Tower fire, we remember the 72 people who lost their lives and stand with the bereaved families, survivors and the North Kensington community.
Grenfell was a preventable tragedy. The Inquiry exposed systemic failures across government, regulators and industry. Yet, nine years later, no one has been held accountable.
As Grenfell Tower is dismantled and communities continue to fight for justice, the lessons of Grenfell must never be forgotten. Safe homes are a right, not a privilege.
