The inquest of Gateshead grandmother Lisa Burbidge is set to start on Tuesday.

The 66-year-old grandmother of four, from Whickham, was killed in the beach attack near Sousse in June 2015, when a gunman opened fire.

Some 38 people were killed when Islamist gunman Seifeddine Rezgui opened fire in the popular resort of Port El Kantaoui.
