Three British nationals are among those who were killed in the Gloria funicular tram disaster in Lisbon, authorities announced on Friday.

The unnamed Brits - a man in his 80s, a man in his 40s and a woman in his 30s - were among 16 people who died when the iconic streetcar derailed and crashed in the Portuguese capital on Wednesday evening.

The investigating Policia Judiciaria said that it had now identified all of those who perished and confirmed there were no British nationals among the injured survivors.

Sir Keir Starmer said this morning he was 'deeply saddened'.

A Number 10 spokesman said: 'His thoughts are with their families and those affected by this terrible incident. We stand united with Portugal during this difficult time.'
