This video shows the terrifying moment a British couple were forced to take cover as gunmen attacked tourists on their sunbeds.
Ben and Clarey Matthews, from Bradford, were staying at the Riu Club Bellevue Park in Sousse and had just gone in to the hotel for lunch when the attackers starting storming the beach.
Mr Matthews, 37, said: ‘We believe the attack started just down the beach near the Mahaba Palace.
‘We’d just come for lunch in the main hotel when everyone outside started running into the hotel and there was what sounded like firecrackers going off on the far side of the hotel.
After a few minutes the Animation team asked everyone gathered in the hotel communal areas to take shelter in their rooms, which we did.
‘Our room overlooks the outside of the hotel and we hid in the bathroom as what sounded like a fire fight took place outside in the street below.
‘We’ve been told very little other than that the hotel is safe now and that the police are guarding the hotel gates and the beach, which is currently off limits.
‘The tour rep knows nothing more than we do, but there’s a chap here who’s come in specially to tell us that.
‘We are ok, shaken up but unhurt, thankfully.’
