Sally Adey, a retired solicitor, from Caynton, near Shifnal, was killed when Isis forces stormed the Bardo Museum in capital Tunis on March 18 last year.

The inquest will take place at the Shirehall, in Abbey Foregate, Shrewsbury at 10am.

A pre-inquest review was held on February 9 by John Ellery, coroner for Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin, to ensure that everything was in place for the inquest.

Mrs Adey had been enjoying a trip of a lifetime on a cruise of the Mediterranean with her husband Rob, 57, when she was killed.

He survived the attack and had to identify his wife's body.

Mrs Adey, 57 was among 23 people, including 18 foreign tourists, killed in the attack.

Two gunmen who carried out the attack were killed in a firefight with security forces.

The Islamic State group based in Iraq and Syria later claimed responsibility for the attack.
