The third British victim killed in the Lisbon funicular crash has been named by police.
David Young, 82, from Holyhead on Anglesey, was among 16 people who died last Wednesday when the Glória funicular derailed and crashed into a building in Portugal's capital. His family described him as a lifelong transport enthusiast, saying it was a comfort that his final moments were in pursuit of the hobby which gave him so much happiness.
Over the weekend Cheshire Police confirmed the other British victims were Kayleigh Smith, 36, and her partner Will Nelson, 44.
Known to most as Dave, he was raised in Auchterarder, Perthshire, but moved to Holyhead in 1980 where he had a long career as a customs officer. In retirement, he enjoyed visiting heritage railways and tramways around the world.
Llinos Medi, MP for Ynys Môn, sent her condolences to Mr Young's family and to those who have been affected. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer expressed his sorrow, stating, His thoughts are with their families and those affected by this terrible incident. We stand united with Portugal during this difficult time.
The Glória funicular, known for its steep slope, is a popular tourist spot in Lisbon. Investigators reported that a cable along the railway's route snapped prior to the crash, although the cause is still under investigation. Nationals from various countries, including Portugal, South Korea, Switzerland, Canada, France, Britain, Ukraine, and the US, lost their lives in this tragic event.
