Grenfell Towerwould have collapsed if had been built four years earlier, a structural engineering expert has said.

Dr John Knapton, emeritus professor of structural engineering at Newcastle University, said although there was 'no guarantee' that the building would not fall down, it was 'unlikely.'

Residents and locals in Kensington described how the building was engulfed in flames, and actor and writer Tim Downie, said 'it was just a matter of time' before the structure gave way.
