A British seven-year-old was confirmed to be among the Barcelona terror attack victims, 10 US sailors were missing after a destroyer collided with an oil tanker, and Big Ben is set to bong for one last time.

Meanwhile, Spurs suffered a nightmare housewarming at Wembley and England's Stuart Broad overtook Sir Ian Botham to climb into second place in England's all-time list of Test wicket-takers.

If you've been away from a screen or newspaper all weekend or want a summary, here's a quick recap of the main events.

1. British schoolboy confirmed dead in Barcelona attack

The grieving family of Julian Cadman, the British boy killed in the Barcelona terror attack, said they will never forget his smiles.

The seven-year-old was in the Spanish city with his mother, Jumarie Cadman, to attend a family wedding when they were hit by a rented van as it careered down Las Ramblas, killing 13 and injuring more than 100.

Mrs Cadman was seriously injured and in a coma, as of Sunday morning, unaware of her son's death, a senior Catalan Government source told the Telegraph.

Julian's family confirmed he had been killed in a statement released on Sunday, saying: "He was so energetic, funny and cheeky, always bringing a smile to our faces.

"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 conformation came as police continued to hunt for Younes Abouyaaqoub, who is believed to have been the driver of the van used in the attack.

2. Ten US sailors missing after collision with tanker

Ten US sailors were missing after a US destroyer collided with an oil tanker in southeast Asia, the second serious accident involving American Navy ships in the region in little more than two months.

Search and rescue efforts were launched  after the USS John S McCain was involved in a collision with the Alnic MC east of Singapore and the Strait of Malacca, the US 7th Fleet said in a statement.

The collision with the tanker happened at 5.24am local time as the guided-missile destroyer was heading to Singapore for a routine visit.

"There are currently 10 sailors missing and five injured," the Japan-based 7th Fleet said.

Returning to the White House on Sunday night, President Donald Trump responded to reporters’ questions about the accident by saying: “That’s too bad.”

3. Big Ben 'should bong for tourists'

Big Ben should continue to bong for tourists at least once a week, the Heritage Minister has said as he warned silencing the famous clock could deter overseas visitors from visiting the famous landmark.

John Glen, a Minister at the Department for Culture, joined a growing chorus of fellow MPs by insisting it was wrong that the famous bongs of Big Ben would not be heard for the next four years.

His comments come as Big Ben, the bell which sits in Parliament's Elizabeth Tower, sounds for the last time at noon today before falling silent because of renovation works. 

Mr Glen told the Telegraph: "I think it is a shame for the visitors who obviously enjoy hearing the bong, it's one of our key attractions for many people from overseas."

4. Jerry Lewis

Jerry Lewis, the rubber-faced comedian and director whose fundraising became as famous as his hit movies, has died at the age of 91.

Publicist Candi Cazau revealed Lewis passed away of natural causes on Sunday morning. His family were by his side in Las Vegas.

Lewis first became a star in a duo with Dean Martin, entertaining audiences in nightclubs, on television and in the movies.

After their split in 1956, he starred in and directed a slew of hit films such as "The Nutty Professor."

Later generations knew him primarily as the tireless conductor of America's Labor Day weekend telethons, raising funds for victims of muscular dystrophy.

5. Britain could be subject to European Court rulings until 2027

Britain could be subject to rulings by the European Court of Justice for years after the UK leaves the European Union, it has emerged.

This week the Government will publish its blueprint for how Britain will treat rulings by the European Court of Justice, the EU's highest court, in civil court cases after Brexit.

Currently, UK legislation is subject to rulings made by the ECJ. But Theresa May, the Prime Minister, has made ending its oversight of British legal matters one of her Brexit “red lines”.

The paper will make clear that any judgments from cases which have been filed by the end of March 2019 will be respected.

But sources said it was up for negotiation whether ECJ rulings will apply in the two or three year transition period after 2019.

6. Wembley 'not the problem for Spurs'

Mauricio Pochettino insisted Tottenham's temporary Wembley home was not a factor in Sunday's 2-1 Premier League loss to Chelsea.

Spurs are tenants of the national stadium this season as the construction of the new White Hart Lane is completed.

And in Wembley's first Premier League game Spurs were beaten. They have two wins in 11 games since the arena reopened in 2007.

"Wembley was not the problem," Spurs' head coach Pochettino said.

"I think the 'Wembley effect' is not the reason we lost the game.

"It doesn't affect me. But I understand that we need to talk, everyone needs to talk.

"It's not fair to blame Wembley. For me, Wembley is one of the best places in the world, one of the best places to play football."

7. Stuart Broad praised for 'monumental achievement'

Chris Broad hailed the "monumental achievement" of son Stuart after he overtook Sir Ian Botham to climb into second place in England's all-time list of Test wicket-takers.

Nottinghamshire bowler Stuart Broad moved on to 384 international dismissals - one ahead of Botham - on Saturday as England thrashed West Indies inside three days in the first Test at Edgbaston.

He now has only 35-year-old team-mate James Anderson (492) in front of him.

Speaking to BBC Five Live's Sportsweek programme, former England batsman Chris Broad said: "(I'm) immensely proud, obviously.

"He's been a shining light in the family for his career since he first started.

"We're all very proud of his achievement and to get to a person like Ian Botham and his record is a monumental achievement.

"When he's bowling, he just looks a dream."
