After seeing people running, he said he and his wife "stayed with the flow" until they reached their hotel, where they were locked inside.

He told the BBC yesterday: "We're looking out at Las Ramblas and the city has gone quiet.

"As I sit looking out here, looking down towards the beach, at the roundabout, there's all the police cars and a crowd of about 400 people and the rest of the streets around that are all dead.

"I just feel sorry for all the people that have been injured in this."
