“The balcony collapse was one of Berkeley’s darkest days, but in the aftermath, it has brought us closer together,” he said.

Family members of the deceased also reached settlements with the property owners last year.Honoured to be part of plaque unveiling for the Berkeley balcony collapse victims.
