@Irene Davo Why do you keep asking this? What do you think? Have you ever been on the 20th floor of a building on fire? Do you realise this video is about a human being who died and that the people who mourn her are coming here to watch and celebrate her life? Have you ever lost anyone you love? There are many better questions than the one you keep asking.

And again RIP you don't rest in peace in the masterpiece.
She had so much talent at the age of 24. R.I.P😭
This is heartbreaking 💔
RIP Khadija Saye. I cried the whole way through this video. I'm glad she got to see her dream blossom a little before her life was taken.
Thank you for humanising the people of Grenfell
In floods of tears after watching this, she was captivating....I've wasted my 35 years , she made the most of her 25 years 😭😭😭
So much life and spirit. I can't believe she's gone.

I hate when we lose beautiful people like her this is so sad..
Cried all the way through this. I love photography and hope to do it at university in order to follow her footsteps. Such an aspiring character, thank you Khadija.
I still can't believe that she died. She had her while life ahead of her and it was taken away from her way to soon by this tragic fire. Rip Khadija. 😭😫😥😢
So much talent and now it's gone forever. I hope these 3 people will own those pictures forever and pass them on to their next family members

I knew a few people from this tower, all good, people who are dearly missed
She looks so nice I'm gonna cry she must have been an amazing person
The first time I watched this was when it was uploaded to Facebook. I cried. Just watched it again and I cried through the whole video again. It’s so sad to know someone so full of life and potential had her life taken away, along with her Mother’s and many others. My heart really aches. Life is truly unfair. Life is fragile. Rest In Peace Khadija

Tahj Brown weather you believe that "it was gods decision" or not, what happened at grenfell tower was horrible!! what sort of god would let so many people suffer like that? it was so easily preventable! it had nothing to do with god it was the governments fault! if they had spent that 8.7 billion on making grenfell safer instead of making it look nice none of this would have happened!

Rosco Pico I don't think you fully understand how this tragedy happened. The cause of their deaths were cos of cheap cladding that caught fire around the building and many people were trapped. This all could've been avoided had the council not put them up or removed them hence it's there fault. That's why there's an enquiry going on.

Rosco Pico can't believe you just said that you're so cold. Regardless if 'they' travelled around Europe you shouldn't generalise each and every person there that night. Some could've been genuine and it's not your call to judge who was and who deserves it. These poor souls lost everything including their lives and your here making judgement. You should be ashamed. Hopefully now they can rest in peace and the councils and those responsible should soon be held accountable.

Rosco Pico the very "engine" of this great country is the people and places the government doesn't make it great. If it does then that's your opinion and not everybody agrees. However when I was referring to greedy councils and government agencies it was because of the cheap cladding they put up that had caused the fire and there were over 40 other tower buildings across the countries including hospitals with the same fire risks. They were responsible for their deaths and they should be called greedy and much more. If you don't agree then that's up to u.
R.I.P your art lives on just like your sole. U will never be forgotten
How devastating to see a young woman do so well in life, and be on the brink of an amazing journey. just to have it all cut short. It makes me cry . She was an inspiration to young people.
This is a truly beautiful piece of footage that needs to be shared. Khadija Saye - A tender-hearted lady who will continue to inspire through her work and through this delightful little film. I passed the tower on the tube (Latimer Road) last night. I am so angry for what these innocent people endured. Shame on all those involved in such horrific consequences of social neglect. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with the courageous residents of Grenfell Tower. Never to be forgotten. Such bravery in horrific circumstances. Another government cover-up, and still no rehousing for the majority of the tower's homeless. May God have mercy on the earthly powers that be. They sure do need it. .x.
Why do the good things always get cut short? rip
She had bare talent and now it's gone 🙏🏽
She was my distant cousin. My mom & grandma we’re so upset. I’ve only met her twice ( I live in the USA). Even though I was not close, it’s hard watching this. Normally I watch this during the anniversary but I felt like looking at it. I’m an artist too (drama/film) but to see her almost reach her dream and then just leave. It hurts so damn bad. I know we weren’t close but I’m so inspired by you Khadijah. I love you. ❤️
The saddest thing I watched yesterday. It truly got me thinking.
I really want to cry! It's so sad seeing her whole future being taken away! She will always be remembered.
The government has a lot to answer for, rip baby girl ❤️

So very sad to see her so excited, and so full of life and to just imagine what she could have done with her talent, just to know her life and the lives of others were cut so tragically short just because of where they lived. RIP

God bless this beautiful soul, and everyone else that died in Grenfell Tower. Her presence in the video seemed so real, it's hard to believe that she's gone 😢 What happened at Grenfell Tower was so senseless and should never have happened. Every time I go past the tower on the train, I can't hold my tears back.
This broke my heart
Gone but never forgotten
a beautiful soul
Heartbreaking God bless her and all those souls
Her presence beyond physical death is very surreal. It's like she transcends what happened to her and has left a wonderful legacy. God bless you khadija and Mary, I hope that you receive justice.
She was 3 years younger than me 😞
This is heartbreaking💔 r.i.p
This is so sad.
Life is so short. Always fulfill your God given purpose and ensure you're all saved. R.I.P to this young woman and peace for all her family !
I lived nearby Runcorn, I think of all those beautiful people lost that day, often &, always ♥
What a beautiful lady, just heartbreaking ❤️
RIP beautiful lady xxx
Bless you and your mum, you were so inspirational ❤ 🙏 to Me and kind 🙏
Bless these lovely souls in paradise.

Everytime I remember these families and the people that died I break down and cry no one should have to deal with this heartbreak still 3 years later no justice for the ones who have died 😭😭😭😭😢😥

This is so sad
No doubt a more than fitting tribute to an individual whose life was full of promise : only to get cut short by tragic events - sincerest of condolences to the family, colleagues and friends of Ms Khadija Saye. Massive kudos to those who made the interlude to a life that is likely to have an influence on Ms Saye's contemporaries.
May she rest in peace she is such a talented girl
So sad, RIP Khadija ❤
