The British victims were among 188 people killed when two bombs ripped through a beach resort on Saturday night.

Shocked backpackers who survived the bomb outrage told of their horror and relief today as they arrived home from the Indonesian holiday island.

But the families of many more were still waiting for news of their loved ones in the wake of the weekend attack.

The 24-hour telephone number set up by the British Consulate in Bali for people anxious about relatives or friends in Kuta is 00 62 361 270 572.
