Tributes are being paid to victims of the Tunisia beach attack which left 38 dead, including at least 15 Britons.
No British victims have been officially identified but the names of some were confirmed by friends and family.
It comes as the relatives of others still missing since the gun attack near Sousse desperately await any news of their loved ones.
More than 1,000 British tourists have returned to the UK, while it is thought 2,500 more could fly home on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Home Secretary Theresa May has chaired a meeting of the government’s emergency Cobra committee.
Hundreds of demonstrators gathered close to the scene a day after the attack for a rally against terrorism, with some holding candles and others carrying flags of the UK and Tunisia.
Further details have been emerging about the tourists who lost their lives in the shooting carried out on Friday by gunman Seifeddine Rezgui, 23, who has links with Islamic State.
It was described as the most significant terrorist attack on British people since 52 were killed in the 7 July 2005 London bombings.
Three members of the same
family were among those killed in the attack.. One Belgian and one German have so far been identified among the dead, the health ministry said. There were also thought to be Tunisians and French killed in the attack.
At least 36 people were injured, some seriously.
The UK government has warned the death toll will rise in the Tunisia attack.
There have also been suggestions from authorities around the country that some of the deceased will come from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Adrian Evans, from the West Midlands, was described as popular by his long-standing employer.
“Adrian was a lovely man. I’ve already been inundated from members of the council and other officers offering condolences to the family, said Darren Cooper, leader of Sandwell Council, where Mr Evans worked.
“He was well liked. He worked with us for a very, very long time and it’s frankly only just sinking in.”
Joel Richards, a student at the University of Worcester, was described as a “talented” local football referee, who had “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 tragic time,” added Birmingham County FA.
Mr Richards’s 16-year-old brother Owen is reported to have survived the attack.
