Portugal is in mourning after 16 people died and around 20 were injured when Lisbon’s famous Glória funicular cable railway derailed on Wednesday evening.

Among the dead are seven men and eight women, Margarida Castro Martins, head of Lisbon’s Civil Protection Agency, said.

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.
