Lurcher Iggy died in the attack in Stockholm on Friday

A memorial has been set up for an Irish dog that was killed in the Swedish terrorist attack on Friday.

Four people tragically died when a lorry was driven through a busy pedestrian shopping district, while 15 others were injured.

Iggy moved with his family to Stockholm in 2012 and was being walked in the city when he was killed.

Dogs Aid revealed the sad news on Facebook and extended their condolences to Iggy's devastated family.

They wrote: "We are deeply saddened to learn that one of our dogs was killed in the terrorist attack in Stockholm.
