A minute's silence was observed in Maidstone, to remember the victims killed in the beach attack in Tunisia a week ago.

Workers from Maidstone Borough Council lead the tribute, which was to be observed at noon outside the town hall in Jubilee Square.

Memorials will be held across the country, with David Cameron and the Queen also pausing at midday.

The Union Jack on the top of the town hall was also lowered to half mast in tribute.

In total 38 holidaymakers, including 30 Britons, died in Sousse after a gunman opened fire at the tourist resort.

So far 17 victims have been flown back to the UK, with the first inquests into their deaths expected to open at a coroner's court in London later today.
