A memorial service to commemorate 13 people who died in an explosion at a munitions factory has taken place 100 years on from the disaster.

Twelve young women and a man were killed when fire ripped through their hut on marshes near Slade Green, south-east London, on 18 February 1924.

Relatives of most of the victims attended the service along with other dignitaries.
