The death toll has risen to 17 following the tower block blaze in West London. 

The Metropolitan Police have said that they still expect the death toll to rise. 

Flames could still be seen burning more than a day after the disaster and emergency services say they don't expect to find any more survivors at Grenfell Tower.

Witnesses say they've heard screams, they've watched a person fall from the building and seen a woman holding a baby out of a window.
