The family of missing Australian boy Julian Cadman has confirmed the seven-year-old was among the 13 people killed in Barcelona's terror attack.
Julian and his mother Jom had been in Barcelona for a family wedding, and became separated when a van ploughed into crowds in the city's busy Las Ramblas district on Thursday evening (local time).

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade released a statement on behalf of the Cadman family saying he was "a much loved and adored member of our family".
"As he was enjoying the sights of Barcelona with his mother, Julian was sadly taken from us.
"We are so blessed to have had him in our lives and will remember his smiles and hold his memory dear to our hearts."
The family thanked those who had helped in the search for Julian and said their thoughts and prayers were with the families of other victims in the Barcelona attack.
They asked for privacy and said they would not be making any further statements.
Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said in a statement she was "deeply saddened" to confirm Julian Cadman's death.
In a Tweet, Boris Johnson, UK Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, extended his "sincerest sympathies to the family of Julian Cadman and all those who loved him".
"The FCO [Foreign & Commonwealth Office], our Australian colleagues & the Spanish authorities continue to do all we can to support his family at this deeply distressing time."
Julian's mother remains in hospital, one of more than 100 people hurt in the attack that has been claimed by Islamic State.
