The final five bodies of the Britons killed in the Tunisian beach massacre will be flown back to the UK later today.

And a coroner will continue to open inquests into the deaths of those murdered in the terror attack.

Some 30 British people were among the 38 killed by gunman Seifeddine Rezgui on the beach at Sousse.

An RAF plane carrying the bodies of the final five murdered Britons is expected to arrive at Brize Norton in Oxfordshire this afternoon.

Their coffins will be loaded onto hearses and travel in convoy to West London Coroner's Court in Fulham, west London, where inquests into their deaths will be held.

Chinyere Inyama, senior coroner for West London, yesterday opened inquests into eight of the Britons killed in the tragedy.

The court heard evidence about the deadly wounds inflicted on the tourists as they holidayed at the resort.

And further inquests into those killed will be opened over the weekend.

The Foreign Office confirmed the final five bodies being returned today are Lisa Burbidge, Stuart Cullen, Christopher Dyer, Bruce Wilkinson and Claire Windass.

They will arrive on an RAF C-17 aircraft at RAF Brize Norton at about 3pm.

Yesterday, a minute's silence was observed across Scotland as the country joined the rest of the UK in a silent tribute to the victims of the Tunisia terror attack.

The nation paused at noon for one minute to reflect on the atrocity and remember the 30 British holidaymakers, including two Scots couples, who were killed in the beach front massacre at Sousse.

The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh joined staff in marking the silence at the city's University of Strathclyde during an official visit to open a new technology and innovation centre, while David Cameron took part in his Oxfordshire constituency of Witney.

Flags were flown at half-mast over Whitehall and Buckingham Palace, while play at Wimbledon was delayed.

Holidaymakers, locals and politicians also paid their respects at the Sousse beach where the shooting happened.

In George Square, Glasgow, where many gathered in silence, sisters Alison and Elaine Mackenzie, from East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire, were among them.

They were staying in the neighbouring hotel to where 38 people - including 30 Britons - were killed by gunman Seifeddine Rezgui on June 26.

They stood with family and friends in the sunshine to mark the silence,

Among the victims were Scots Jim and Ann McQuire from Cumbernauld and Billy and Lisa Graham, from Bankfoot, near Perth.

Their bodies arrived back in the UK on Thursday.

Alison, 37, and Elaine, 34, were tearful as they laid flowers down at the Cenotaph and lit a candle.

Alison said: "We just wanted to pay our respects.

"We're lucky to be here.

"We came back on the first flight after it happened. We just wanted to get home."

Well-wishers bowed their heads and many embraced the sisters and their family after the minute had passed.

Christine McLaren, 76, from Carntyne, said: "I felt really terrible, very very sad for the folk on holiday and all that happening to them.

"You can see the people that are emotional as they all have tears.

"People have come to show their feelings and respect to the ones that have died."

David Punter, 26, a hotel manager, from Baillieston, Glasgow, added: "It was good, nice to see a good turnout for it and it was well reserved."

Tricia Reilly, 63, from Uddingston, said: "I came here to pay my respects to the people who were on holiday, enjoying time away, and then this happened to them.

"It is devastating."

Glasgow Central Station came to a standstill as rail travellers remembered the victims.

An announcement shortly before invited people to join a one minute silence to "honour those who were killed in the terrorist attack in Tunisia".

Dozens paused on the concourse to observe the period of silence.

Station staff and workers at shops, cafes and restaurants in Central Station also took part.

Robert Leggat, 38, said: "I'm just here to see my son off on a train and I'm humbled by the experience.

"I think it's fitting that the people of Glasgow show respect after what happened."

Glasgow Airport also fell silent as staff and travellers - most bowing their heads - marked the silence.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon also paid her respects when she signed a book of condolence.

Ms Sturgeon joined local representatives at the headquarters of North Lanarkshire Council in Motherwell to observe the silence and pay her own tribute to both the Scottish families as well as the other victims.

At Wimbledon, matches on the outdoor courts usually start at 11.30am but began at 12.15pm to allow spectators and players to take part in the silence.

Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond has said all 30 British people killed in the massacre have been identified.
