Many others have been left homeless by the inferno, which gutted the tower of 120 flats, leaving it charred and virtually destroyed.

The Charity Commission has announced, in a first phase of funding, an initial payment of £20,000 will be given to the families of each person who has died or is declared missing presumed dead.

Up to £10,000 will also be available for immediate distribution to each person seriously injured and requiring hospital treatment.

Another £10,000 will also be given to every family from Grenfell as a "fresh start" grant as they move into new permanent accommodation.
