Here is what we know about the victims who have been identified so far:

Julian Cadman

On Sunday the family of the missing seven-year-old British-Australian boy Julian Cadman confirmed he is among the 13 people killed in the Barcelona terror attack.

The Spanish missing persons bureau said his family had confirmed that the seven-year-old died after a van crashed into pedestrians on Las Ramblas on Thursday. "Julian Cadman's family has told us he is unfortunately one of the victims of the attack and has asked us to thank all the people who have spread the news.

"In these very unjust, hard and painful moments, we accompany Julian's family and friends. Rest in peace. Once again we wish to reiterate our appreciation and involvement in your search."

In the immediate aftermath of the attack it was unclear what had happened to Julian. On Friday Theresa May said the British government was "urgently looking into reports of a child believed missing, who is a British dual national".

Reports emerged that he had been separated from his mother, who was badly injured. It is understood that she is in a serious condition in hospital. Family members shared pictures of Julian in an attempt to locate him, while his father and grandmother were understood to have arrived in Spain on Saturday after travelling from Australia.
