After Mr Cochran’s identity was revealed, US President Donald Trump tweeted: “A great American, Kurt Cochran, was killed in the London terror attack. My prayers and condolences are with his family and friends.”

Aysha Frade

Aysha Frade, who worked in administration at independent sixth-form school DLD College London in Westminster, also died on the bridge.

She is understood to have been 43 and married with two daughters.

At least 100 people attended a memorial in Spain to commemorate the British national.

A minute’s silence was held in the Galician municipality of Betanzos, where Mrs Frade’s family originates and where she spent her summers.

Betanzos councillor Andres Hermida said the community in Spain was in “enormous pain” and shrouded in an “atmosphere of sadness”.

He told the Press Association: “We had a minute’s silence in the Plaza de la Constitucion outside the local government building and we have declared three days of mourning, which will include flying the flag at half-mast until Saturday.

“About 100 people attended despite the rainy weather.”

Mrs Frade’s family is well known in Betanzos, where her older sisters, Silvia and Michelle, run the Notting Hill English language academy.

Francisco Lopes

Portuguese pedestrian Francisco Lopes, 26, has said he was “scared for my life” after being mown down on Westminster Bridge, leaving him with leg and hand injuries.

He said: “He started to move towards the pedestrian pavement and started to just take out the people that were in front of the car, so, literally when I realised this, the car was literally just about one metre away, so I had no, literally, no time to get out of the way.”
