Francesca Gillett18 June 2017

This is the uplifting moment crowds broke into song at a Sunday remembrance service for the victims of the Grenfell blaze.

People gathered near to the base of the north Kensington tower block for an outdoor church service on Sunday.

Around 58 people are missing and presumed dead following the devastating fire which ripped through the 24-storey block in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Police said they have recovered 16 bodies as crews continue to search the building. The entire block has now been searched by emergency workers.

A charity single has been announced by Simon Cowell.

The entertainment producer said he was forming a British music supergroup to record a song in aid of the victims.
