Fans of Beyonce and Jay-Z have said they were moved to tears after the duo dedicated a song to the victims of the Grenfell fire during a London show.
The duo took their On The Run II tour to the London Stadium on Friday, where they closed the show with a rendition of Young Forever, Jay-Z’s hit with Mr Hudson.

It came a day after the one-year anniversary of the blaze was marked and the remains of the tower were illuminated in the colour green.
Dressed in black, the couple wore green heart-shaped pins, which were created to remember those affected by the tragedy, which killed 72 people.
Introducing the song, Beyonce said it was for “the victims of the Grenfell fire”, adding: “God bless you.”
One fan wrote on Twitter: “Beyonce and Jay Z just dedicated London’s #OTRII to the victims of Grenfell.
“We all sobbed.”
