A viral comedy Facebook page have shared a sick 'Grenfell Tower' meme.
The image shows the burnt-out tower block in London, after it was devastated by an inferno last month, with a flame on its roof with the caption "Grenfell Tower memorial candle £4.99".

It was posted by the Hallmarkfor A******s page on Facebook and was shared hundreds of times - with one user describing it as "funny as f***" and another saying it is "still funnier than hell".
But it faced a huge backlash from people on the post, with many asking the page to remove it, the Daily Mail reports.
"You can unfollow us, if you are... or block us if you aren't, and you won't see any more of this, but I WILL be posting more of it for the people who see the humor (sic) in it. Godspeed."

Yesterday, it emerged that 80 people had been confirmed dead in the tragedy.
Hundreds have been left homeless as a result of the disaster, while the bodies of those killed may never be identified because of sheer intensity of the blaze, which left the tower block a charred, hollowed out shell.
The image, which has also appeared on Imgur and Sickipedia, appears to have been removed, but it is not clear whether Facebook or the page took it down.
