The number of people dead and missing presumed dead after the Grenfell Tower disaster has risen to 79, police have revealed.

Five of those people have so far been formally identified, said Metropolitan Police Commander Stuart Cundy.

He told reporters the "awful reality" was that it might not be possible to identify all the victims. Some families have lost more than one member, he added.

The announcement was followed by a minute's silence at 11am across all Government buildings to remember the people who lost their lives and all those affected by the fire in north Kensington last week.

His latest statement comes after police released new images from inside the burnt-out building.
