The minute of silence for the victims of the Valencia fire becomes a tribute to Julián, the "hero" janitor. Five minutes of silence that were only broken by the applause of hundreds of people who gathered this Saturday in the Valencia City Hall square, in memory of the ten fatalities of the fire that devastated a block of flats in Campanar.

The fire has claimed the lives of ten people, according to the latest official figures, and hundreds of families have been left homeless.
