The children of a couple killed in the Tunisia terrorist attack unveiled a memorial to their parents.
Janet and John Stocker were among the 38 tourists murdered on a beach in Sousse by gunman Seifeddine Rezugi in June.
Mrs Stocker, 63, worked at the North Cheam branch of Sainsbury’s where colleagues raised money towards a funeral wreath and a memorial bench, which was unveiled on Friday.

Four of the couple’s five children attended the unveiling where daughter Kelly Stocker-Putt described how the experience had affected them.
She said: “My parents were a couple who were instantly loved when people met them. They were the type of people you could have a laugh with.
“It’s been overwhelming to see how many people have been touched by what happened.”
Mrs Stocker’s colleague Katie Rodgers said: “We felt it was the right time to pay respects to Janet in some form.”
Mrs Stocker-Putt said her family shopped at the branch and the bench was a way they could remember her parents.
A football tournament was also held in the couple’s memory at Borough Sports Ground, in Gander Green Lane, last month where Mr Stocker, 74, was a member of Sutton United’s walking football team.
