:: How IS has changed its message online

A young woman told Sky News: "We all have to stick together and show support and solidarity. They might have scared us but they won't beat us."

A man who said he was from the Muslim community added: "This is our home. You've got to stand together.

"When you get such a person as this - I cannot even express what sort of brain he had. This is time to show we are together.

"Love for all; hatred for none - that is our message. The word Islam means peace. Going out and doing this sort of atrocity is... (the) opposite of Islam."

London comes to terms with a day of horror

Dozens of other people were injured, including nationals of Britain, France, Romania, South Korea, Greece, Germany, Poland, Ireland, China, Italy and the US.

Kent-born Masood, who was shot dead by police 20 metres inside the gates of Parliament, used a number of aliases and was investigated by MI5 some years ago over concerns of violent extremism.

Islamic State claimed the killer was one of its "soldiers", but Home Secretary Amber Rudd denied there had been an intelligence failure.

A review of security is taking place at Parliament.
