Britain has paid tribute to the victims of the Tunisia terror attack with a minute's silence.

The nation paused at noon to reflect on last Friday's atrocity and remember the 30 British people who were killed in the beach front massacre.

The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh observed the silence as they visited the University of Strathclyde's Technology and Innovation Centre, while Prime Minister David Cameron marked the moment in his Oxfordshire constituency.

In Worthing, councillors and officers gathered outside the town hall to pay their respects.

Holiday operators Thomson and First Choice have confirmed that all 30 British victims were their customers.

At Thomson's headquarters in Crawley, staff observed a minute's reflection.

Across the town in Crawley's memorial gardens, the family of victims John and Janet Stocker along with dignitaries observed the silence impeccably.

Peckham-born Mr Stocker, 74, was a retired printer who had five children and 10 grandchildren. Relatives said they were "the happiest, most loving couple who enjoyed life's simple pleasures".

Fulham-born Mrs Stocker, 63, was described as a "fun-loving and devoted mother" in a statement released by relatives.

Mayor of Crawley Chris Cheshire said after the silence: "Everybody feels how horrendous the whole event was for every family that has been affected but because this family has roots in Crawley, they have family members still in Crawley, I think we feel a special bond.

"We wanted to find a way, not just marking the one minute's silence, but by somehow transmitting the fact that our love and care for them will somehow sustain them."
