Five of those killed were Portuguese along with three Britons, two South Koreans, two Canadians, an American, a Ukrainian, a Swiss and a French national, police say.

Police have not yet confirmed the identities of those who died, but some have been named elsewhere. Here is what we know about them.

The death of Mr Marques, who worked as the brake guard on the funicular, was reported by Portuguese transport union Sitra.

"We send our condolences to the families and friends of the victims of the accident and wish them a speedy recovery as well as the best recovery to the others injured in the accident," the union wrote on Facebook.
