Demonstrative adjective?

Hi everyone.

Could you tell me whether the word "there" in bold is a demonstrative adjective, a demonstrative adverb or a demonstrative pronoun in the sentences below?

There came a rumble of thunder and the skies darkened.

Once There lived a princess named Grethen.

Thanks!

There came a rumble of thunder and the skies darkened. Once t here lived a princess named Grethen . In both your examples, "there" is a dummy pronoun functioning as subject.
