<p>The man, named as Christophe Lyon, was with his wife, her 28-year-old son, his parents and his parents-in-law when they were killed in the Promenade des Anglais attack, the Republicain Lorrain newspaper said.</p>
<p>The sole survivor was said to be too traumatised to speak.</p>
<p>Francois Locatelli, 82, and Christiane Locatelli, 78, their daughter, Veronique Lyon, 55, and Michael Pellegrini, 28, their grandson, had gone for a brief holiday to the French Riviera. They met up with Veronique&#8217;s in-laws &#8211; Gisele Lyon, 63, and Germain Lyon, 68, who were also killed. Their son, Christophe, was the sole survivor.</p>
<p>The Locatellis were well-known in the township of Longwy in north-eastern France, where Francois had worked as a heating engineer and his grandson taught economics and social studies.</p>
<p>An American father and son are also among those killed in the terror attack in Nice.</p>
<p>At least 84 people, including around a dozen children, died when a terrorist drove a truck through crowds celebrating Bastille Day.</p>
<p>Sean Copeland, 51, and his 11-year-old son Brodie, from Texas, were on holiday when the atrocity took place.</p>
<p>In a statement, the Copeland family said: &#8220;We are heartbroken and in shock over the loss of Brodie Copeland, an amazing son and brother who lit up our lives, and Sean Copeland, a wonderful husband and father. They are so loved.&#8221;</p>

<p>Hill Country Baseball, believed to be a local sports club, wrote on Facebook: &#8220;This evening we would like to ask that the HC family keep the Copelands in your prayers.</p>
<p>&#8220;This afternoon our very own Brodie Copeland, as well as his father Sean Copeland, were killed during the terrorist attack in Nice, France.</p>
<p>&#8220;This photo was sent to me earlier today from the French Riviera &#8230; Nobody deserves this type of fate, especially not such a wonderful family.</p>
<p>&#8220;You are in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers. Rest in peace, Brodie and Sean, you will be remembered by many.&#8221;</p>
<p>The post was accompanied by a photo of a young boy at a beach.</p>
<p>Another person believed to be a victim is a Russian, named in reports as 21-year-old student Victoria Savchenko.</p>
<p>Russian news reports said she was on holiday with her friend Polina Serebryannikova who was taken to hospital with injuries. According to L&#8217;Express newspaper, the first victim to die was a Muslim mother-of-seven who wore a veil.</p>
<p>Fatima Charrihi&#8217;s son Hamza said she was with nieces and nephews when she was killed and that his brother had tried to revive her but she had died instantly.</p>
<p>He said: &#8220;She wore the veil, practising an Islam of the middle ground. A real Islam. Not that of the terrorists.&#8221;</p>
<p>L&#8217;Express published a photo of her residence permit.</p>
<p>Her son added: &#8220;She was the first victim, there were no other bodies before her.&#8221;</p>
<p>The BBC said another French victim was Robert Marchand, a 60-year-old industrial supervisor from Marcigny, a small, rural town in eastern France, who was a parent and a coach at an athletics club.</p>
<p>Linda Casanova Siccardi is one of the two Swiss nationals confirmed to have died. In a 2009 trade union newsletter article she was described as one of the country&#8217;s first women customs officials.</p>
<p>Emmanuel Grout, 48, the deputy commissioner of the local border police, was off duty and enjoying the fireworks with his girlfriend and her daughter when he was killed.</p>
<p>The high-ranking officer oversaw police operations at Nice&#8217;s airport, French media said.</p>
<p>The former mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, said in a tribute that France&#8217;s police had lost &#8220;a great personality&#8221;.</p>
