Theresa May praises ‘triumph of human spirit’ after terror attacks and Grenfell Tower fire in Easter message
By Adoga Michael Oyi
Theresa May has used her Easter message to pay tribute to the “triumph of human spirit” following the terror attacks in London and Manchester and the Grenfell Tower disaster.
The prime minister hailed the bravery of victims and communities, as well as the dedication of the emergency services, after a turbulent 2017 marred by atrocities at Westminster Bridge, London Bridge and Finsbury Park, the terrible attack on concert-goers at Manchester Arena, and the deaths of 71 people in the
Grenfell Tower fire.
Ms May, whose father was a vicar, said the Easter story pointed to a “promise of new life and the triumph of hope”, as she sought to draw a line under the divisions caused by Brexit .
Addressing the nation, she said: “Over the last year, Britain has faced some dark moments, from the terrorist attacks at Westminster Bridge and London Bridge, at Manchester Arena and Finsbury Park, and the fire at Grenfell Tower.
“I know from speaking to the victims and survivors of these terrible events how vital the love and support they have received from their friends, family and neighbours has been to them as they begin to rebuild their lives.
