The final Grenfell Tower fire toll will not be known until at least the end of the year, with 80 people currently presumed dead, police say. The vast majority of those who died were said to be in 23 of the North Kensington building's 129 flats. Police said some residents had tried to move up the building to escape the flames and it is thought a number of people may have ended up in one flat.
The 14 June fire destroyed 151 homes, most in the tower block, but also a number of surrounding properties.
The opening of inquests into seven of the victims heard a six-month-old baby was found dead in her mother's arms.
At least one person from 106 of the 129 flats at Grenfell Tower has been contacted in an attempt to identify those who might have died, police said. Some of the victims have been identified from a variety of sources including 999 calls - 26 calls received came from inside the 23 flats where the majority of people are thought to have died.
They said "every imaginable source" of information "from government agencies to fast food companies" had been used by officers as part of their inquiries to identify the victims.
