Seems the people in the background were pretty brave.
Britain's Independent newspaper reported that Mr Yeoman's wife heard about the human barricade from another holidaymaker once they had returned to Manchester. That person, who had been on the beach at the time, also told Mrs Yeoman about the Tunisian chef who had tried to warn them of the unfolding horror.
"He was the one who told them that the line of people they could see ahead of them were staff from the hotel," Mrs Yeoman said.
"He said to this couple that they were telling the gunman: 'You'll have to get past us and we're Muslims.' Obviously I don't know the exact words but that was pretty much what they were saying.
"They'd actually made a human barricade - 'You're not going to get past us, you'll have to kill us.' "
Another British man on vacation at the beach wrote to Mr Yeoman to corroborate his account of the drama, the
Independent reported.
"I'm with you - was on beach at Palm marina - whilst we were running to hide, hotel staff were running out to help, very brave," Ian Symes wrote.
A report in the British
Telegraph newspaper identified jet-ski merchant Ibrahim el Ghoul as a local hero who had thrown stones at Rezgui.
According to the report, the 18-year-old ran up the beach towards where the attack was taking place, trying to bundle fleeing tourists into a boat before going after Rezgui on a jet-ski.
"The first thing I thought was: 'This is my work and I have to protect the guests,' " Mr el Ghoul told the paper.
