A permanent memorial for the 30 British victims of the recent Tunisia terror attack will be funded by the UK government, reports say.

The memorial will be one of two that Prime Minister David Cameron has announced. The second will more generally commemorate all British victims killed in terror attacks overseas.

The announcement came as the final five British bodies were flown to the UK from Tunisia on Saturday.

Announcing the Tunisia attack memorial, Cameron said, “It is right that we mark and commemorate them and others murdered by terrorists overseas appropriately and support the loved ones they have left behind in every way we can."

The families of the Tunisia victims will be consulted on the design and location of the memorial.

On June 26, a Tunisian student disguised as a tourist pulled out an MK 47 assault rifle concealed in a beach umbrella and opened fire on tourists at the Riu Imperial Marhaba Hotel in Port El Kantaoui, near the city of Sousse south of the capital, Tunis.

Eyewitnesses described the incident as a sight of sheer terror, with the gunman mowing down screaming tourists who ran for their lives.

The gunman, who was shot dead by police, only targeted tourists, yelling to locals to "Stay away,” adding, “I didn't come for you."

30 of the 38 people killed were Britons. A German, a Belgian, a woman from Ireland and another from Portugal were also gunned down.

Three months ago, another terrorist attack claimed the lives of 21 tourists and a policeman at the Bardo National Museum in Tunis.

Both attacks were claimed by the ISIL Takfiri group, which has seized control of parts of Syria and Iraq and carried out a wave of terrorist attacks there and elsewhere around the world.
