Boular, of Lambeth, South London, laughed and said: “Can we go and put flowers there and candles?”

She denies preparing a gun and grenade atrocity at the British Museum.

Her sister Rizlaine, 22, of Clerkenwell, central London, has already admitted planning an attack.

Boular was arrested as she allegedly planned an attack after being trained online by her partner Naweed Hussain, a British Pakistani who joined IS in June 2015.

Jurors heard Hussain was killed in a Syrian air strike 4 April, 2017.

Boular was told of his death later that day by a trained role player from the security services claiming to be his commander in Syria.

Boular, her mother and sister Rizlaine, 22, can be heard wailing and crying at the news before one of them says: 'Rejoice! He is a martyr.'

Trial continues.
