London-born star Adele has paid a heartfelt tribute to the victims, who were involved in the terrible terror attack in Westminster on Wednesday afternoon. Taking to the stage at her concert in New Zealand on Thursday, the 28-year-old poignantly dedicated her song Make You Feel My Love to those who died. She also told the audience that it felt "strange" to not be at home with her loved ones. "Today there was a terror attack in my home town of London," the star said. "Literally I'm on the other side of the world, and I want them to see our lights, and to hear us, you know, we're thinking of them."

She added: "It's very strange not being home. All I want to do today is be at home and be with my friends and family. Everyone's fine but there are four people that aren't fine. So let's dedicate this to them tonight, and to my home town, which is my soulmate. This is Make You Feel My Love." Two victims of the attack which left four dead and 40 injured, have now been named. Mum-of-two Aysha Frade was on her way to collect her children from school when she was hit by the attacker's car on Westminster Bridge.
