A second vigil has been held outside a church near Grenfell Tower as the community continues to come together.
Candles and flowers were placed outside the Notting Hill Methodist Church, next to posters of those missing after the blaze.
A minute's silence was also held.
The Reverend Mike Long said: "Today has been a very long day for a lot of people and most of us didn't sleep well last night.
"We still struggle in many different ways to come to terms with what's happened and what's unfolding and struggle to find words.
"So sometimes we have to simply fall silent or light candles. In this act we express all of our sorrow within us and perhaps confusion, or our anger, or simply our prayers."
