King Charles has said he is"appalled and saddened by the most dreadful antisemitic terrorist attack on Jewish people" at a Hanukkah celebration in Australia.

At least 11 people were killed in the shooting at Bondi Beach on Sunday and a further 29 taken to hospital, police said.

The King said his and Queen Camilla's"hearts go out to everyone who has been affected so dreadfully". He praised the"spirit of community and love that shines so brightly in Australia", adding that the light of the Hanukkah festival"will always triumph over the darkness of such evil".

Rabbi Eli Schlanger, a British-born rabbi, was among those killed in the attack, his family has confirmed.
