The Queen and Prince William are visiting a relief centre helping victims of the Grenfell Tower fire, the BBC reports.

Their visit to the Westway Sports Centre comes after police say some of those killed in the fire at the west London flats may never be identified.

Seventeen people are known to have died but that figure is set to rise, with fears the death toll could exceed 60.

The Queen and Duke of Cambridge are expected to meet volunteers, local residents and community representatives.

The Queen paid tribute on Thursday to the “bravery” of firefighters the “incredible generosity” of volunteers now offering support.

Emergency services are to spend a third day searching for bodies in the burnt-out Grenfell Tower in North Kensington.
