The Grenfell Tower Memorial Commission's Promise

To those who lost their lives,
We promise never to forget.

To those who survived,
We promise never to forget.

To those who bore witness
We promise never to forget.

To the next generation,
We must never to forget.

Together we will work to build a fitting memorial, one that will stand the test of time and act as a permanent symbol of remembrance.

Forever in our hearts

{that last motto is repeated in 8 languages.}

Too many sad and challenging messages for us to transcribe but we thought the plaque from the Memorial Commission was interesting.
