Attendees will be issued with tickets to gain entry, which can be arranged with Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and TfL, prior to the event

The centerpiece of the event will be a reading aloud of the names of the 52 victims of the atrocity. This will be framed by music, readings, and songs performed by the London Community Gospel Choir.
