The seven-year-old dual British-nationality boy missing in the aftermath of the Barcelona terror attack has been confirmed dead.
Julian Cadman, who had dual UK-Australian nationality, was among the 13 people killed in the attack on Thursday. A 14th person died in a second attack, six hours later, in the resort of Cambrils.
Julian was separated from his mother after a van was deliberately crashed into crowds of people on Las Ramblas.
His mother is in a serious condition in hospital.
Of 130 people injured in the two attacks, fifty three are in hospital and 13 of them are said to be critical.
In a statement, the family paid tribute to the ‘energetic, funny and cheeky’ boy and thanked everyone who helped them search for Julian after they appealed for help in finding him.
They added: "We also acknowledge we are not the only family to be affected by the events, our prayers and thoughts are with all people affected."
Spanish authorities say they have stepped up security at popular tourist sites and events that draw large crowds.
There will also be increased security at the Spain/France border.
Julian’s family had appealed for help in finding him on Friday. At the time, Prime Minister Theresa May made a statement saying: "Sadly, I must tell you that we do believe that a number of British nationals were caught up in the attack.
"We’re urgently looking into reports of a child believed missing, who is a British dual national.
"The Foreign Office is offering consular assistance to those who were involved in the attack and their families, and are working urgently to see if there are others who need their help."
ABTA said it is not aware of disruption to flight services out of the UK as a result of the terror attacks, but said people imminently due to travel to Barcelona or Costa Dorada should monitor Foreign Office advice and check the status of their flight with their airline or travel provider.
