		</div><p>Hundreds of mourners gathered in a show of love and grief on Friday for those lost in the Grenfell Tower fire. Mourners stood arm-in-arm at a vigil outside the Latymer Christian centre, just yards from the site of the blaze that killed at least 30 people in the early hours of Wednesday morning.</p>
<p>The building has become a hub for the relief effort for those left bereaved and homeless in the days following the inferno. People wept as a sea of candles illuminated the nearby streets, and sang renditions of Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds and Amazing Grace during the brief service.</p>
<p>The crowd then observed a two-minute silence for those killed in the tragedy, and raised candles in the air in solidarity.<br />
A painstaking recovery effort has been taking place at the gutted tower, with authorities predicting the death toll is likely to rise considerably.<br />
Brenda Mercer, 64, who organised the vigil, has been instrumental in helping the relief effort from the Latymer centre.</p>

<p>The 64-year-old said: “Last night I came to the wall to lay some flowers and I was overwhelmed because of how people were actually supporting each other, hugging each other.<br />
“There were only around a dozen people there and I thought, ‘I need to do something on a bigger scale’, so I went home and organised this.”</p>
