This is the heartening moment the true spirit of London shone through in the wake of the horrific Grenfell Tower fire.
Hundreds of people from all walks of life formed a huge human chain to sort donations made to the many, many victims.
From toiletries, clothes to pallets of food and water, Londoners gave up their time to come together and move the goods to where they’re going to be stored.
The extent of people’s generosity has been so big that some collection points have had to turn donations away as they’re already full.
Around 400 people are believed to have lived in the 120 flats in the high-rise which caught fire in the early hours of Wednesday.
