A two-minute silence was held for the 71 victims of the Grenfell Tower fire at the end of an arduous identification process lasting five months.

Westminster Coroner Fiona Wilcox said experts ranging from anthropologists to odontologists were needed to accurately place names on bodies recovered from the block.

At the final inquest opening on Wednesday (November 22) - for mother and daughter Victoria King and Alexandra Atala - she read the names and ages of all victims, with the exception of baby Logan Gomes, who was stillborn.

Police say the fire, which broke out in the 24-storey building on June 14, claimed the lives of 71 people.

However, the campaign group Justice4Grenfell has challenged this figure.

Member Moyra Samuels believes the devastated blaze has claimed the lives of 99 people.

On the same day as the final inquests opened, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond, announced £28 million had been put aside in the budget for mental health services and regeneration support for the area around Grenfell Tower.

The money would also go towards a new community space for local residents.
