Carnival pays tribute to fire victims
NOTTING HILL CARNIVAL started yesterday with a remembrance opening ceremony for those who died in the Grenfell Tower fire.
Dozens of white doves were released by survivors and residents of the north Kensington area.
A minute’s silence was also observed at 3pm and another one is scheduled for the second day of the carnival today.
More than 80 people are believed to have died in the blaze on June 14 in the council-owned tower block that is near the carnival route.
