Evening Standard - Ben Morgan

The director of the Notting Hill Carnival today said this weekend’s event will celebrate the diversity of London and commemorate Grenfell victims.

Organisers are in last-minute preparations for Europe’s biggest street party, which kicks off on Sunday morning.

It is expected to attract hundreds of thousands of revellers to dance through the streets of west London, listen to steel bands and see the world-famous closing parade...

Mr Phillip said: “In the middle of the carnival, we want to bring it to silence and show the respects for what this community has lost and that they won’t be forgotten. It is difficult to describe how traumatic an event it was and some of that trauma and angst is still all over people’s faces.”
