A photo shoot by portrait and fashion photographer Rankin is celebrating the volunteers who helped after the Manchester bombing and Grenfell fire. The high rise blaze in London and the terror attack saw the largest Red Cross humanitarian responses in the United Kingdom since World War Two.

The images have been released to mark Red Cross week, which begins on Sunday. More than 1,000 Red Cross volunteers worked in Manchester and London in the aftermath of the tragedies.

Rankin said he hoped his shots of the volunteers captured how the "power of community shone through" following the horrific events in both cities. Twenty-two people died on 22 May when a suicide bomber blew himself up at the Ariana Gande at the Manchester Arena while 71 people died in the west London tower block on 14 June.
