- Andreas Liveras, 73, was the only known British fatality. His body has been flown back to the UK.

A multi-millionaire, he had left his yacht Alysia on Wednesday evening to go into Mumbai with his purser. Friends on the boat heard shooting and phoned, urging him to return. He said he felt it was safe enough to go into the Taj Mahal hotel for a “quick curry”.

When terrorists invaded the hotel he and 1,000 others fled to a lounge that they thought was secure.

From there he spoke to the BBC. “The hotel is shaking every time a bomb goes off,” he said. “Everybody is just living on their nerves.”

Gunmen burst in at 5am and started firing. Liveras was hit in the head.

The purser, who tried to shield him, was hit twice in the shoulder.

Liveras moved to London in the 1960s with little money but built up a bakery chain and a yacht charter business. He and his family were listed as worth £315m in The Sunday Times Rich List this year.

Holtzberg, 29, and his wife, 28, had joint American-Israeli nationality. They moved to Mumbai from New York five years ago to run the Chabad centre.

- Loumia Hiridjee , 47, founder of the French lingerie brand Princess Tam Tam, was killed with her husband, Mourad Amarsy, 49, when the terrorists entered the Oberoi hotel.
