On Friday, Elizabeth and Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, visited the area and met residents and community representatives.
The queen, sporting a royal blue ensemble, met with volunteers, local residents and community representatives throughout their visit, as William reportedly called the tragedy "one of the most bad things I have seen".
With the official death toll from the fire which swept through the 24-floor residential tower block, remaining at 30, families and friends of at least 70 people still missing desperately awaited news of their fate.
Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the Archbishop of Westminster also visited the Grenfell Tower area today to lead a church service. The British government has announced a 5 million-pound ($6.3 million) emergency fund for the victims.
Prime Minister Theresa May met with survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire.
She was referring to the succession of terror attacks in Manchester and London, and now the Grenfell Tower fire disaster.

In a statement released on her official 91st birthday, she said that while the day was traditionally a celebration, "it is hard to escape a very sombre national mood".
"There have been huge frustrations that people do not know who to talk to, that they can't get through on the council hotlines", May said.
"That's why I came straight back to Downing Street and I ordered a public inquiry".
Many are demanding answers for how the blaze spread so quickly.
She said her visits to London and Manchester -- the latter the site of a terrorist attack last month - have highlighted the people who offer comfort and support to those affected.
Between 50 and 60 people stormed Kensington and Chelsea Town Hall as members of the public said the homeless needed help "right now".
