The first pictures of Melissa Cochran, the wife of one of the Westminster terror attack victims, have emerged as she is treated in hospital.

Despite having lost her husband and seeming to have extensive injuries, Mrs Cochran manages to smile in the pictures, which were posted on the GoFundMe page raising money for her after the loss she suffered.

The couple had been on the trip of a lifetime as they travelled around Europe.

They were on the final day of a visit to London to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary when they were caught up in the carnage on Wednesday last week.
