Patrick Evans, aged 78, of Wednesbury, Sandwell council worker Adrian Evans, 49, from Bilston, and 19-year-old Wednesbury student Joel Richards, were staying at the Riu Imperial Marhaba when gunman Seifeddine Rezgui struck.

Rezgui killed 38 tourists at the five-star hotel in Sousse on June 26 2015.

Suzy Richards, who lost her father, brother and son in the attack, has been attending the inquest alongside Joel's brother Owen Richards. Owen, who was 16 at the time, survived.

The four were Walsall supporters and the club's Banks's Stadium served as a base for an outpouring of grief following the killings.
