Grenfell Tower will be taken down, the government has confirmed nearly eight years after a fire that killed 72 people.

The process is expected to take around two years and will be done "sensitively", with no changes to the building before the eighth anniversary of the disaster in June, the government said.

The plan has drawn a mixed reaction from local people, bereaved families and survivors – some of whom want the west London tower to remain standing as a lasting reminder of the 2017 tragedy.

Others argue its presence is distressing to those who lost loved ones and say it should be replaced by a memorial.
