The official death toll from the inferno which engulfed the high-rise tower block in west London on June 14 stands at 30, although an estimated 70 people are still unaccounted for and the death toll is expected to rise considerably.

Residents have been displaced, and scores of families affected, in an event which has shocked the entire country.

Manchester City star Raheem Sterling has already pledged to donate in support of the victims as they try and rebuild their lives, with Bellerin, a resident of London, joining in.
