A WOMAN who died seven months after the Grenfell Tower fire was commemorated as the 72nd victim of the blaze today.

Maria del Pilar Burton, 74, died in January after managing to escape the fire in Kensington, west London on June 14 last year.

Her husband of 34 years, Nicholas Burton, told the public inquiry into the disaster that the fire had “a terrible effect” on Ms Burton’s dementia.
