Pop star Rita Ora has joined in a huge community effort to help the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire, helping sort through donations made by the public.

The 26-year-old posted a video of herself among black sacks of clothes, water and food at one of the help points in west London.

She also posted an image of the tower, and wrote "RIP" on Snapchat.
