A person collapsed after harrowing footage of the burning Grenfell Tower was accidentally played without warning to relatives and survivors on day two of the inquiry.
Staff were supposed to notify attendees before images of the tower appeared – but instead mobile phone footage flashed onto the screens showing flames engulfing the block.
Some of those watching at the Millennium Gloucester Hotel, South Kensington, buried their faces in their hands, while others left the room in tears.
Lead counsel to the inquiry Bernard Richmond QC told the hearing: "I'm also aware that some people needed to leave the room, I'm sorry that the warning that should have been put out didn't get put out."
Cries could be heard from the hallway.
Several minutes later, Mr Richmond said: "Somebody has collapsed outside and is being dealt with, so if you could stay in the room that would be very helpful."
Meanwhile, the artist who gave a stark image of Grenfell Tower to Theresa May has passed on a copy to inquiry chairman Sir Martin Moore-Bick as the tributes entered their second day.
Damel Carayol painted the image of the burnt-out tower block as an outpouring of grief, and presented it to Mr Moore-Bick, using the chairman's own words to remind him of the search for truth.
Passing it over, Mr Carayol said: "To Sir Martin, work until truth is laid bare."
The day began with a widower paying tribute to his wife, who died in hospital seven months after being pulled from the flames in Kensington.
0:40Maria del Pilar Burton, who had dementia, was carried from the building by firefighters, but died in January, the results of the fire having taken a toll on her.
Mr Burton said: "She was very distressed. How do you explain what had happened to a person in her condition? That our house had gone. Our dog had gone. Our good friends and neighbours may have passed and many friends were missing. That her parents' ashes, which we had kept in the flat, had gone."
She died as her son had entered her hospital room on 29 January.
Also remembered on the second day of commemorations was Deborah Lamprell, 45, who died in the fire.
