Hundreds of people held a vigil in west London last evening for the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire, as anger simmers over the official reaction and the ongoing investigation.
At least 80 people were killed when the high-rise was engulfed in flames, prompting investigators to admit that some victims may never be found.
"The human cost of that tragedy is something we are all still trying to fully comprehend," police commander Stuart Cundy said in a statement.
The Metropolitan Police's disaster victim identification coordinator, Alistair Hutchins, told the BBC that Grenfell Tower was the worst incident he has dealt with in his 18-year career.
Describing the painstaking search through the debris, Mr Hutchins said his team will employ 6mm sieves to pick up fragments such as bones and teeth.
Four weeks after the devastating fire ripped through the building, mourners lit candles in an area filled with pictures, flowers and hand-written notes of remembrance.
"I know people who have been lost, I know people who have lost people, I know people who are besides themselves with grief. It is really, really difficult," local MP Emma Dent Coad said.
A minute's silence was held during which many wept, and after which people attending the vigil sang Bob Marley's 'One Love'.
With the recovery operation expected to take months, there has been anger within the local community at the official handling of the fire.
At an earlier meeting with survivors yesterday, police investigator Matt Bonner was met with cries of "arrest someone" as people grew frustrated with his explanations of the probe.

The incoming leader of the local authority, Elizabeth Campbell, was heckled by one audience member.
Her predecessor as head of Kensington and Chelsea council, Nicholas Paget-Brown, stepped down over criticism of his handling of the fire.
But Ms Campbell has been described as being disconnected from the community, after revealing that she had never been into the local high-rises before taking up her new post.
