At least 84 people have been killed and and 50 are "between life and death" after the driver of a truck ploughed into a crowd at the Bastille Day fireworks display in Nice.

Prime Minister Theresa May said she was aware of reports of a small number of British people who may have been caught up in the attack, but there are no confirmed fatalities at this stage.

She said: “We are working urgently to establish if there are British nationals involved who have been caught up in this attack."
