Hundreds of protesters have gathered outside the Kensington Town Hall, asking for justice in aftermath of the Grenfell Tower blaze.

The protest appears to have been organised by a friend of someone who was lost in the blaze.

Their chief demand is that victims are rehomed within the borough, and they have asked for funds to be given to those who lost their homes and belongings in the fire.

Whole families are among those who remain unaccounted for since the blaze, which police fear was so devastating that some victims might never be identified. More than 70 people have been named by relatives as missing.

Thirty people are now confirmed to have died, but it is feared the figure could rise above 100. Twenty-four people remain in hospital, 12 of them in critical care.

In a statement on Friday afternoon, Metropolitan Police Commander Stuart Cundy said the victims included one person who had died in hospital. "There is nothing to suggest at this time that the fire was started deliberately," he added.

Teams were forced to leave the 24-storey building on Thursday afternoon when the fire restarted, delaying further the efforts to reach upper floors - where many victims are thought to have been trapped.
