Staff and visitors observed a minute's silence across the UK this afternoon to remember the 38 people killed in the Tunisia beach attack a week ago.

Crowds gathered at the Epping Forest District Council civic offices in High Road, Epping, at midday to remember the victims, including 30 British people, who were killed by a gunman in the Sousse beach resort.

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

The Queen and Prime Minister David Cameron also joined the silence.

Prior to the minute's silence, Chairman Liz Webster said: "My name is Councillor Liz Webster, Chairman of Epping Forest District Council.

"In a few moments I would like to invite you to join me and observe a minute's silence to remember the victims of the Tunisian beach attack.

"Within this silence we can reflect upon the tragic events of last Friday, and remember the holiday makers who innocently lost their lives exactly a week ago.

"Our thoughts go out to the family and friends of those who have lost loved ones and those who have been injured or affected by this terrible event.

"We can also take this time to honour the bravery of everyone who witnessed the horrific events that took place in Tunisia, and those who remain there to give aid.

"Please join me in this national minute of silence.

"I thank you for your time and joining me in the memory of those lost."
