Victims are named as families seek those still missing

Report by ITV News Correspondent Martin Geissler.

The first details of the dead and wounded have begun to be named in Brussels, but for many families the agonising wait for news continues.

Among those still missing is Briton David Dixon. He contacted his family to say that he had not been caught up in the airport attack, but it is feared he then boarded the metro hit by another suicide bomber an hour later.

Among the memorials and appeaks for the missing, stories of survival have also emerged.

Pauline Graystone, who escaped the airport blasts, today went to Bourse Square in central Brussels to remember those who lost their lives and reflect on their luck.

"We just dropped to the floor...I grabbed my family" she said as she described how the explosions went off on either side of them.

"You could feel the heat, you could smell the burning, and the roof started falling in."

Dr Nima Tabrizi, who treated the the wounded said some had psychological trauma that was as obvious as their physical injuries.
