18:19Now PlayingThe government confirmed on Friday that Grenfell Tower in west London is to be demolished.
A fire ripped through the west London residential tower at speed in June 2017, claiming the lives of 72 people.
The incident sparked a national scandal over building safety standards and years of debate over the future of the 24-storey tower.
The structure still casts a large shadow over the area and remains covered in scaffolding.
Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner is understood to have confirmed the news to bereaved families on Wednesday evening.
It is expected to take "around two years to sensitively take down" Grenfell Tower in west London, the government has confirmed, with no changes before the eighth anniversary of the disaster in June.
Grenfell survivor Antonio Roncolato tells Iain Dale that Ms Rayner has acted 'too cold and too tough' in her decision making regarding the tower.
Bereaved family member Karim Mussilhy, who is also the Vice Chairman of Grenfell United, tells Andrew Marr that the tower should 'remain standing until justice is delivered'.
