The Press Association: Weary Britons tell of Tunisia chaos: "Thousands of weary Britons are spending their first day home after returning from trouble-riven Tunisia.
The vast majority enjoying winter sun breaks in the north African country were flown home by their tour operators over the last two days.
On Saturday, Thomson and First Choice evacuated 1,437 holidaymakers on seven flights to airports around the country - and Thomas Cook flew 300 passengers to Manchester. The day before, Thomas Cook flew 1,500 passengers back.
It is thought there were approximately 1,000 expats living across Tunisia - famed for its beautiful climate and quality of life - before this week's political upheaval saw scores of nationals killed, buildings torched and businesses looted.
The Foreign Office said that between 150 and 200 independent travellers in the country had registered on its website to let the British authorities know where they were."
