On our entry to the UK, while we were standing at the head of the line to be checked through by UK passport control, one of the officers was going from booth to booth and all interviews and processing ceased for a short while as there was an unintelligible announcement on the PA system. Turns out that across the UK, government and other offices engaged in 72 seconds of silence in memory of the 72 victims who died in the Grenfell Tower fire in London one year ago.
