BOLTON'S Victoria Square came to a standstill as hundreds of people paid tribute to the victims of the Tunisia terror attack with a minute's silence. 

Crowds of people gathered in the square at noon to reflect on last Friday's atrocity and remember the 30 British people who were killed in the beach front massacre.

They were among 38 holidaymakers who were killed by Seifeddine Rezgui when he opened fire in the resort of Sousse.

Three Irish nationals, two Germans, one Belgian, one Portuguese and one Russian were among the dead.

It is believed Rezgui — who was shot dead by police — had accomplices who helped him carry out the atrocity and the Tunisian government said it had made a number of arrests.

Eight people — seven men and one woman —were in custody, suspected of having direct links to the massacre, but four others had been released, government minister Kamel Jendoubi said.
