A campaign has been launched to protect a mural painted in tribute to victims of the Grenfell Tower fire .

More than 200 people have so far signed a petition in a bid to keep the colourful street art - which packs a serious message.

The "Justice" graffiti, painted by an artist known as "Flex", can be found in Ladbroke Crescent, close to the charred remains of the tower block in Kensington .

Emma Daniels, who started one of the online petitions, said: "Some residents have complained about a memorial mural erected by residents out of respect of those that have suffered this tragedy.
