The identity of the third British victim has not yet been confirmed.

Five Portuguese citizens also died when the carriage plummeted down the hill – four of them were workers at a nearby charity – but most of the victims were foreigners.

Police said the other fatalities were two Canadians, two South Koreans, one American, one French citizen, one Swiss and one Ukrainian.

All but one of the victims was declared dead at the scene – and 22 others in the carriage were also injured.

The yellow carriages of the Gloria funicular are a big draw for tourists, as well as a proud symbol of the Portuguese capital.

The journey is just 265m (870ft) up a steep hill and takes three minutes, with two carriages travelling in opposite directions on a cable.

Witnesses reported seeing one of the carriages hurtle down the hill before leaving the tracks and crashing 30m from the bottom of the line.

The aftermath shows it crumpled and twisted against the side of a building.

People who were in the bottom carriage said they were a few metres into the climb when it started going backwards.

When they saw the other car speeding towards them, many jumped through the windows to escape.

Prime Minister Luis Montenegro called it “one of the biggest tragedies of our recent past” and authorities are under intense pressure to quickly identifying the cause.

“Today is a day of pain. No words are sufficient to heal your loss and to fill the void that has been left behind by those who have departed,” he said.
