<p>The latest figure comes after Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond warned that it was highly likely a “significant number” of victims yet to be identified would be British.</p>
<p>A total of 38 people were killed when a gunman opened fire on a beach in the Sousse resort on Friday, with the the Foreign Office already confirming 15 of them were from Britain. Three Irish people are also among the dead.</p>

<p>Hammond said there had been delays in identifying victims because many were “dressed for the beach, not carrying ID physically on them”.</p>
<p>He added: “There are a significant number of victims who have not been positively identified at this time and it is highly likely that a significant proportion of them will be British.”</p>
<p>He said it was “extraordinarily difficult” to predict where the next attack will happen and was no more likely to be in Tunisia than in a European city.</p>
<p>“Our agencies have been very frank about this over a long period of time now, they cannot guarantee that we will be safe from this kind of self-radicalising lone-wolf attack. It is the most difficult type of attack to detect and predict and therefore the most difficult kind to protect against.”</p>
<p>Marking the gravity of the attack, the Queen took the unusual step of sending her condolences to the families of those killed in the atrocity.</p>
<p>She said the incident had left her and the Duke of Edinburgh “shocked”. The monarch also sent her “deepest sympathy” to those injured in Friday’s brutal slaughter.</p>

<p>The killing spree by Kalashnikov-wielding student Seifeddine Rezgui targeted western tourists on the beach at the RIU Imperial Marhaba and the RIU Bellevue and only ended when he was shot dead by police. A bomb was found on his body.</p>
<p>Investigators have revealed they are looking for at least one more accomplice, with an Interior Ministry spokesman telling the Associated Press they are sure that Rezgui had help.</p>
