WORCESTER will fall silent for one minute at noon today as the UK honours those killed in the Tunisian beach attack last week.
Thirty-eight people - including 30 Britons - were killed when gunman Seifeddine Rezgui opened fire in the resort of Sousse.
Among those killed was 19-year-old University of Worcester student Joel Richards.
All staff and students at the university have been invited to join in an act of remembrance for 19-year-old Joel today, Friday, at 11.30am at the University Arena.
At noon Worcester Cathedral bell will begin to strike to herald the minute's silence when everyone will be asked to remain stationary and silent.
The Very Reverend Peter Atkinson, Dean of Worcester, said: "We shall be mindful of all the victims and their families, including Joel Richards, of Worcester University, together with his uncle and grandfather.
"Prayers are offered daily in the cathedral for peace and reconciliation throughout the world."
The flag over Worcester's Guildhall will be lowered to pay tribute to all the victims in Tunisia.
