"I know you are back on duty today, and my thoughts are with you all. Thank you for your dedicated service, all of you!"
The surprise visit comes after the Hello singer comforted those affected by the tragedy at a vigil held less than 24 hours after the blaze ripped through the 24-storey building.
I have to presume are dead," Metropolitan Police Commander Stuart Cundy said.
He said five of the dead had been formally identified and it would be a slow and painstaking task to identify the others. Because of the intensity of the blaze some may never be identified.
A minute's silence was held on Monday in honour of those who died, with some of the firefighters appearing close to tears during the tribute.
