The attack also killed three generations of one family -- Adrian Evans (second from left), 44, his father Patrick (second from right), 78, and his nephew Joel Richards (right), 19. All three were fans of the Walsall Football Club, and fellow fans laid their scarves down outside the stadium in mourning. Joel's brother Owen (left), 16, was shot in the shoulder but survived.

For four days after the attack, the Stocker family tried desperately to reach John and Janet Stocker, on holiday in Sousse. Hotel staff said the couple's clothes were still hanging in their rooms but by Tuesday, Tunisian authorities confirmed they both had also been killed.
