Legal preparations for the inquests of the 30 Britons who were killed in June's Tunisia beach terror attack are to begin.
Blackwood mother and grandmother Trudy Jones was among the 38 people tragically killed when a gunman opened fire on tourists in a resort in Sousse on Friday, June 26.
Crown court judge Nicholas Loraine-Smith, who has been appointed as coroner, is to hold a pre-inquest review hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice in central London.
He will aim to give directions so that the official investigations into deaths of the UK victims of the mass killing in the Mediterranean resort town of Sousse can begin.
The bloody attack by gunman Seifeddine Rezgui claimed a total of 38 lives, with terror group Islamic State claiming responsibility.
Judge Loraine-Smith, who usually sits at Southwark Crown Court in south east London, was nominated to take on the role by the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd, after consultation with the Lord Chancellor, Justice Secretary Michael Gove.
