The Queen and Prince William visited a relief centre for Grenfell Tower fire victims, while the missing could number as many as 76.

Their visit to the Westway Sports Centre comes after police say some of those killed may never be identified, reports the BBC.

Police have confirmed that at least 30 people have died as a result of the blaze at the west London flats.

Metropolitan Police Commander Stuart Cundy said that of those who were killed, one died in hospital.

He also said there was nothing to suggest that the fire was started deliberately, and that everyone in hospital has now been identified.

The fire broke out shortly before 01:00 BST on Wednesday.

The Queen and Duke of Cambridge met volunteers, residents and community representatives.

The Queen paid tribute on Thursday to the “bravery” of firefighters and the “incredible generosity” of volunteers now offering support.

Emergency services are spending a third day searching for bodies in the burnt-out Grenfell Tower in North Kensington.

Fire chiefs say they do not expect to find more survivors. Police have launched a criminal investigation into the fire and PM Theresa May has ordered a public inquiry.

The prime minister - who faced criticism for not meeting survivors of the tragedy on a visit to the scene on Thursday - said the victims “deserve answers”.

May visited those injured in the fire on Friday morning, and will chair a cross-Whitehall meeting later on how the authorities can help the community recover.

Six victims of the blaze have been provisionally identified.

However, Commander Cundy has said earlier there was “a risk that sadly we may not be able to identify everybody”.
