Probably an obvious question, but have you selected anything to delete? It will be gray if you don't select anything.

You have to choose select in the upper right corner, then individually press the pictures you want to delete. Once you have chosen pictures the trash can should be darker and able to be selected.

Were the photos synced to the phone from a computer using iTunes? If so, you need to use iTunes to remove them.
