UK marks 3rd anniversary of deadly London high-rise fire

Associated Press |
Britain is marking the third anniversary of the Grenfell Tower apartment block fire with a virtual church service to remember the 72 people who died in the blaze.
Sunday marks three years since a small kitchen fire in the west London public-housing block turned into the worst domestic blaze in the country since World War II. The fire spread rapidly and engulfed the 24-story building, shocking the nation and prompting a widespread investigation into low-cost, flammable cladding at high-rise buildings.
"As a nation, we are still dealing with the consequences of what happened and working to make sure it never happens again," Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in a video message to be shown at an online commemoration service.
