Six people, including three young children, were killed in a blaze which ripped through a block of flats, emergency services said.

A three-week-old baby, a six-year-old and a seven-year-old died, along with three adults.

The blaze in Lakanal Flats in Sceaux Gardens, off Dalwood Street, in Camberwell, south London, began on the fourth floor of the 12 storey block on Friday afternoon and "spread rapidly" to the 11th floor, said London Fire Brigade.
