Greenville Thieli and Najin chanted for justice, as the final anniversary is likely to be the same as the case, before working to start its demolition.
The government announced earlier this year that the remains of the building will be dropped.
It is believed that the oldest is that the demolition begins is September, and the process is expected to take about two years.
Hundreds of silence walked through West London on Saturday evening before hearing the names of the 72 dead and speeches by activists, as the tower ignored them.
“Eight years old, eight years of fire – have been ill – illuminated by neglect, greed and institutional failure – in our homes, families and our hearts,” said the Vice President of Grenfell United, Karim Mussilhy, who lost his uncle in the fire.
“No justice comes. The truth is that there is almost nothing new because nothing has changed.
“While we stand here after eight years, the only decision that this government made is to demolish the tower – our house.”
The crowd shouted “shame” and Museili continued: “Not because justice was delivered, but despite the fact that it was not – before one person was held accountable, to make what happened disappeared.
“The tower not only stood as a reminder of what happened, but what should change – a symbol and a truth in the face of denial, dignity in the face of power, and our resistance, to our 72 loved ones who cannot fight for their justice.
“Now they want to go, out of view, a clear horizon and a forgotten scandal.”
The crowd faced the tower and chanted: “Justice, justice.”
At the end of the speeches that people gave through the gates, which are rarely opened, and pushed their respect at the base of the tower.
The attendees detained each other and the children wrote a greeting on the electric candles that were left on a platform between the flowers.
The remainder of the tower has stood in its place in the years that has passed on the disaster, with a coverage of the building that includes a large green heart accompanied by the phrase “forever in our hearts.”
The Grenfell Tower Investigation report, published in September, concluded the victims, the bereaved and the survivors “failed badly” through incompetence and betrayal of trust and greed.
The head of investigation, Sir Martin Moore Beck, said that the tower bloc is covered with combustible products due to the “methodology of the methodology” of the companies that made and sold the cladding and isolation.
News of the decision to demolish the government earlier this year was met with criticism from some of the bereaved and survivors of the 2017 fire who expressed their disturbance and shock, saying that they had not had not been considered their views before making the decision.
Prime Minister and Minister of Housing Angela Rainer later said in an interview that she knew that meeting with people who are closely affected would be “really difficult” and that there was no “consensus” among everyone about what should happen to the tower.
On Saturday, the banners read, “This guide is a lot, there is no charges” and “Conservatives have blood on their hands. Justice is for Greenville.”
The hearts of large green paper are highly held, in words including “hope”, “integrity”, “enough” and “justice” written through it.
About ten fighters of extinguishing interest on each side of the road outside the Ladbroke Grove station stood in the face of the crowd with their helmets at their feet.
Some members of the Greenville community walked to their hugs and shake hands.
An hour after walking in silence, the crowd gathered for speeches outside the Methodic Church.
In February, the government confirmed that the engineering advice is that the tower is “severely damaged” and will get worse over time.
Separately, the Grenfell Tower Memorial Commission is consulting with plans for a permanent memorial in the tower area, with recommendations that include “sacred space”, designed to be a “peaceful place to remember and reflect”.
It is expected to submit a memorial planning application in late 2026.
According to the latest government numbers, which were published last month, there were 5,052 residential buildings in England, which were 11 meters or longer than unsafe cladding from the end of April.
Less than half of the building – 2477 buildings or 49 % – has started or completed treatment work, with only a third – 1652 buildings or 33 % – after completing the treatment.
The Labor Party revealed a plan to accelerate treatment last year, pledging that by the end of 2029, all buildings that are more than 59 feet (18 meters) with an insecure cladding found on a government plan.
