Tunisia beach attack: Permanent memorial for victims

The government has announced it will fund permanent memorials to the people killed in the Tunisia terror attacks.

Two permanent memorials will be set up, one in memory of those killed in the Tunisia beach massacre in Sousse and another will be for all other Britons killed in terror attacks abroad.

The families of the victims of the Tunisia beach attack will be consulted as to where the memorial should be located and a service will be held in autumn this year for all of those affected.

30 Britons were amongst those shot dead by student Seifeddine Rezgui on Marhaba beach.

Those who lost their lives in Tunisia last week were innocent victims of a brutal terrorist atrocity.

Prime Minister David Cameron.

Prime Minister David Cameron said: “It is right that we mark and commemorate them and others murdered by terrorists overseas, appropriately and support the loves ones they have left behind in every way we can.”

John Stollery, 58, who worked for Nottinghamshire County Council as a social worker, was one of the 30 Britons killed at the beach resort of Sousse.

His wife, Cheryl Stollery said: “We love and miss him terribly and nothing will ever be the same again.”
