The Grenfell community was given a special recognition honour after coming together to provide shelter and comfort to those affected in the tower fire. 

Prince William also praised the firefighters for their bravery in battling the blaze and offered his condolences to the families who lost loved ones.  

Southgate's England secured their passage to the 2018 World Cup finals earlier this month as his Three Lions side topped their qualification group. 

Defoe was included in Southgate's latest squad but failed to feature against Slovenia or Lithuania while Vardy was left out due to injury.
