A handwritten message read: "We've never worked harder. We gave everything. Sorry it wasn't enough".

The tear-jerking message has been signed off by "firefighters x".

More than 500 emergency service crew members – including around 300 firefighters – were scrambled to the scene after blaze took hold.

Brave firefighters battled through the night to put the flames out after the tower became a burning inferno.

Frantic residents trapped inside the burning building jumped from windows in a bid to escape.

Others threw their children to safety as they desperately tried to avoid being burnt alive.

Fire crews are now undergoing a “painstaking search” with police to identify victims and hunt for clues.

At least 30 people are dead but it is feared the death toll could rise to more than 100 - with no survivors expecting to be pulled out alive.

And it will “take weeks” for fire crews to clear the building as there is a risk of falling debris.

The anonymous firefighter's tribute was left on a board plastered with messages of condolence in the shadows of the burnt out building.

One man wrote "our loss is heaven's gain" amid hundreds of touching words, while some questioned "why did this need to happen?"

Written in large block capitals, one message read: "Pray for our community".
