(B2) The trauma suffered in the UK during the attack in Tunisia with more than 30 British victims went relatively unnoticed in Europe. A minute of silence will be celebrated across the country at noon this Friday (July 3). This is the most serious toll for citizens of the Crown since the attack of July 7, 2005.

The last 4 injured, most seriously injured were repatriated on Tuesday (30 June) while the first bodies of the deceased began to be repatriated by C-17 planes from RAF base Brize Norton on Wednesday (1 July )
