These Are Some Of The Victims Who Died In The Tunisia Hotel Attack

    At least 38 people were killed in a terrorist attack on a beach resort in Tunisia – including many from the UK.

    On 26 June, a lone gunman with potential links to the terrorist group ISIS carried out an attack on a Tunisian beach resort, killing 38 people.

    The gunman, who was shot dead by police, has been identified as Seifeddine Rezgui, 23.

    In a speech given the day after the attack, prime minister David Cameron warned that "many of those killed" in Tunisia were British, and said he would hold a meeting with the government's emergency Cobra committee to formulate a response.

    Foreign secretary Philip Hammond later confirmed 30 British tourists had been killed.

    Here are some of the victims of the attack:

    Lorna Carty, Robinstown, County Meath, Ireland

    Carty travelled to Tunisia with her husband, Declan, following his heart operation. The couple had been given the holiday as a present, friends told the Irish Times.

    Carty went to the beach on her own while her husband stayed in the hotel room. They were due to leave Tunisia hours after the attack took place.

    Sources told MailOnline that Declan had been able to escape the scene without harm but was "devastated" after hearing about his wife's death. Carty's son has travelled to Tunisia in order to be with his father.

    A friend told the website: "Declan was in the hotel and Lorna went out to get a last bit of sun before leaving... When he heard all the commotion he went out, then he recognised the towel and the blood on it... He's devastated."

    Carly Lovett, 24, Lincolnshire

    Lovett (above right), from Gainsborough in Lincolnshire, is said to have travelled to Tunisia with her fiancé, Liam Moore (above left), who is believed to still be in the country.

    Lovett was a beauty blogger and a photographer at the e-commerce company Fizzco. She was also a former student at the University of Lincoln, where she studied at the film and media school, according to the Lincolnshire Echo.

    Kyle Leeman, 23, a friend, told the paper she was a "kind and outgoing person".

    "We always used to hang out as kids," he said. "Her parents were always really welcoming to all her friends. I am absolutely devastated."

    Adrian Evans, 44, Tipton, West Midlands

    Adrian Evans is one of three members of his family to have been killed in the attack, along with his father, 78-year-old Patrick Evans, and nephew Joel Richards, 19.

    He had previously worked for Sandwell council as a manager in its gas services department.

    Evans worked for the council for 32 years, and was on the first day of his holiday in Tunisia. He was due to travel to France shortly afterwards, according to the Birmingham Mail.

    In a statement last week, Sandwell council leader Darren Cooper said: "Adrian Evans was a very popular and long-serving employee, who was manager of our Gas Services Team.

    "We are absolutely devastated for Adrian's family, friends and colleagues and our thoughts are with them and all those affected by this tragedy."

    Patrick Evans, 78, West Midlands

    Charles "Patrick" Evans was the father of Adrian (above) and the grandfather of Joel Richards (below) and Owen Richards, all of whom travelled to Tunisia together.

    Evans lived with his wife, Maureen. Like the rest of his family, he was a devoted fan of Walsall Football Club, which expressed its condolences last week.

    Joel Richards, 19, West Midlands

    Richards is the nephew of Adrian Evans and the grandson of Patrick Evans. He was also the older brother of 16-year-old Owen Richards, the only family member who went to Tunisia and survived.

    Richards was a student at the University of Worcester and a local football referee in Birmingham.

    He was described as a "popular lad" with the "world at his feet" by Ian Murphy, a spokesperson from Birmingham County Football Association.

    In a statement, Birmingham County FA said: "A young talented referee with the world at his feet, he was highly thought of and will be sadly missed.

    "Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this time."

    Sue Davey, 42, Tamworth

    Davey travelled to Tunisia with her partner, Scott Chalkley, from Derby, and they were staying at the Imperial Hotel in Sousse. The pair both worked for Severn Trent Water.

    Davey's son, Conor Fulford, initially reached out for information on Twitter after hearing that his mother had been shot in the leg.

    However, following confirmation of his mother's death, he wrote on Facebook: "Thank you for willing me and my family on but unfortunately we lost the battle to keep my mom in our lives."

    He also tweeted to thank those who helped in searching for Davey in the aftermath of the attack.

    Hi Everyone, Sorry to tell you we lost my mother Sue Davey tonight but i want to thank everybody that tried to help me & my family ...

    Love you always Mom, I've got my teddy bear you got me tonight, Rest easy xxxx

    Scott Chalkley, 42, Derby

    Scott Chalkley, from Derby, worked at the Severn Water Company with his partner, Sue Davey.

    Chalkley and Davey had taken the holiday together after recently buying a house, according to The Mirror.

    Following the attack, Chalkley's son Ross Naylor reached out for help on social media.

    After confirmation of Chalkley's death, Naylor wrote on Facebook: "Tonight me and Brad lost our dad. Unfortunately he was caught up in the sickening attack in Tunisia and is not longer with us.

    "I'm sure many of you have seen the news about Sue as well so all I ask is that people let both families grieve in peace."

    Jones was a care home worker in Wales and was the first confirmed victim of the attack from Wales. She travelled to Tunisia with her partner, David, who is said to be unhurt.

    Blackwood mayor Noel Taylor told WalesOnline that he had known Jones for "donkeys years" and was "in shock" over the event.

    "I have just watched it in the news and all I can say is I feel devastated," he said. "The family must be totally in grief."

    In a statement released by Gwent police, her family said: "She'll be missed by so many people. She was the rock of our family and kept us all going. None of us have a clue how we're going to cope without her.

    "We are all devastated and would appreciate if everyone can respect our privacy. Please leave us grieve our beautiful mother."

    Bruce Wilkinson, 72, Goole

    Wilkinson, of Gordon Street, Goole, travelled to Tunisia with his wife, Rita.

    He was described by Goole MP Andrew Percy as a "loving family man" who "worked to support the care of others".

    The father and grandfather was also described as "kind and compassionate", with a "dry sense of humour".

    In a statement, Wilkinson's family said: "We are devastated at the loss of Bruce, who was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. Bruce was a loving family man, and in his working life worked to support the care of others. He was a kind and compassionate man, with a dry sense of humour.

    "He was fun-loving, and will be deeply missed by friends and family alike. The family would like to thank everyone who has supported them since the tragic of events of last Friday, and we respectfully ask to be left in peace to grieve."

    She was on holiday with other members of her family, according to reports. According to Chronicle Live, she had visited the resort in Tunisia six times in the past.

    Neighbours described Burbidge as a "lovely" and "friendly" woman who enjoyed going on holiday.

    In a statement released on Sunday, Burbidge's family said: "We are devastated with the tragic loss of the most beautiful, amazing, caring and gentle person in our lives.

    "We have been left with a massive hole in our hearts. She leaves behind many family members including four fantastic grandchildren who were her world and will miss her tremendously."
