0:00:00 > 0:00:01That's it for now, we're back at ten.
0:00:01 > 0:00:11Goodbye.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Welcome to BBC London News.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18I'm Victoria Hollins.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21A memorial service has been held at King's Cross station to mark
0:00:21 > 0:00:24exactly 30 years since the fire that killed 31 people.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Dozens were also injured in the blaze, which was started
0:00:26 > 0:00:28by a single match discarded on a wooden escalator.
0:00:28 > 0:00:34Here's Emma North.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36We are gathered here today to remember all those
0:00:36 > 0:00:39involved in the fire here at King's Cross Underground
0:00:39 > 0:00:41station 30 years ago.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43This morning they came together, families, friends and colleagues,
0:00:43 > 0:00:46linked by the worst fire in the history of the
0:00:46 > 0:00:49London Underground.
0:00:49 > 0:00:59We remember especially the 31 people who lost their lives,
0:00:59 > 0:01:01and the many more who were injured on that night.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04The minute's silence was broken only by the sound of the trains below.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Then, one by one, they paid tribute.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10I've never seen some of the people before but I feel
0:01:10 > 0:01:16like they're my family.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18I felt the same...
0:01:18 > 0:01:24Feelings again, like I am again a 13-year-old girl,
0:01:24 > 0:01:26and I was again told that your brother is no more,
0:01:26 > 0:01:29I'm again told that he's dead and mum's crying and I'm crying,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32and that feeling came back after many, many years.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34This may be one of the capital's busiest stations but Londoners still
0:01:34 > 0:01:36don't forget what happened here.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Every day, it's up to 200,000 people that pass through.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42And a number of people do stop.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43People stay and lay flowers.
0:01:43 > 0:01:51On Thursday, there was a man that passed and he stopped,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54he read the plaque, and he held his hand on the plaque.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56The King's Cross fire changed both the way the underground
0:01:56 > 0:01:58and the fire service work.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03If we think back to what we were wearing to fight fires back then,
0:02:03 > 0:02:06it was no different to what we wore to fight fires in the Blitz.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08We had yellow, plastic leggings that softened and almost melted
0:02:08 > 0:02:10when they got too warm.
0:02:10 > 0:02:11Plastic...
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Plastic and rubber gloves, no different to the gardening
0:02:13 > 0:02:15gloves you can go and buy at your local garden centre.
0:02:15 > 0:02:25Time has passed but today the memories are as powerful as ever.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28It was a massive fundraising effort in London last night -
0:02:28 > 0:02:30a total of £7 million raised for Children in Need, more
0:02:30 > 0:02:32than anywhere else in the country.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34BBC London spent the evening with fundraisers at
0:02:34 > 0:02:35the Harry Potter Experience at Warner Brothers Studios
0:02:35 > 0:02:36in Hertfordshire.
0:02:36 > 0:02:42And Sarah Harris was there.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Everyone knows you need special powers to get into Harry Potter's
0:02:45 > 0:02:51world but for Pudsey, dozens of fundraisers
0:02:51 > 0:02:54and disadvantaged children, it was a piece of cake.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Many were there to explain why and how they've raised so much money
0:02:57 > 0:02:58for such a good cause.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59Maisie.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00India.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Ellie.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05I was a poorly girl when I was younger but I got
0:03:05 > 0:03:07better as I got older, and I want children
0:03:07 > 0:03:09to be as lucky as me.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14So Children In Need could help that.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17At school, all of my friends and everyone at school,
0:03:17 > 0:03:19we wore spotty clothes.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22This year, it was my idea to bring in old pound coins.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23We raised...
0:03:23 > 0:03:26ALL:£2,800!
0:03:26 > 0:03:31Behind the scenes at Warner Brothers Studios tour,
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Children In Need got to share in some magical movie history.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Children from Watford mencap joined in the party spirit.
0:03:38 > 0:03:46Without Children In Need backing, their project wouldn't exist.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49It means a lot, even for the parents because,
0:03:49 > 0:03:51unlike every other child who goes around people's houses
0:03:51 > 0:03:52for tea, these kids don't.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54They don't really have a social life as such.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57We are their social life after school.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59The Christmas scene is already set at Hogwarts.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02For young carers, a chance to enjoy themselves away from so many
0:04:02 > 0:04:04family responsibilities.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09Another project that relies on your generous donations.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13When they have the funding, it helps when, like,
0:04:13 > 0:04:16we are in bad places and we want to, like, meet up with different young
0:04:16 > 0:04:19carers and just talk about that, so it's really nice that they could
0:04:19 > 0:04:23help along the way with that.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26A night to remember and a message to all of you in and around
0:04:26 > 0:04:30the capital who gave to help the lives of Children In Need.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Wingardium Leviosa.
0:04:33 > 0:04:41Thank you.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43A look at the weather.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Tonight, cloud will thin this evening allowing long
0:04:45 > 0:04:46clear periods to develop.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Tomorrow will see a cold start but the morning will be fine,
0:04:49 > 0:04:51sunny and dry with light winds.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53During the afternoon cloud will thicken from the west
0:04:53 > 0:04:54with patchy rain later.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Maximum temperature, nine degrees Celsius.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58That's it.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59We're back tomorrow evening.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01From all of us here, do have a lovely weekend.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Bye for now.
