"Just bring us boxes, we don't want anything else -- just cardboard boxes," one organizer shouted to the volunteers and members of the public.

Five minutes later and only 50 meters down the street and within the site of the burnt out wreck of the tower block, one middle-aged woman suddenly burst into uncontrollably sobs, crying as she had just learnt that somebody she knew was among the victims of the fire.

The community in the area was in shock, but such scenes may sadly become more common in the coming days as more people learn of the fate of their loved ones.

Just around the corner an impromptu prayer wall had been started where flowers were being laid in tribute to the victims of the tragic event.

People had written their condolences and remembrances on the blank white sheets posted on the wall, and the words were heartbreaking.

"Rest in Peace", read one. "We weep with you," read another. Many messages were in Arabic and other Middle Eastern scripts. The area is ethnically mixed, with many immigrants from across the world.

There was anger also.

"Justice for Grenfell. Jail those responsible. Forever in our prayers," read a prominent message.

LEADERS PROMISE TO FIND ANSWERS

Earlier in the day British Prime Minister May had paid a visit to the scene of the disaster, where she met senior figures in the emergency services dealing with the event.
