In brief
David Young, 82, of Holyhead, Wales, is one of the victims of the recent funicular crash in Lisbon. Described by his family as a passionate transport enthusiast, Young's love for railways brought him joy throughout his life. He, along with others, tragically perished when the Glória funicular derailed, leaving behind a community in mourning. This tragedy has sparked condolences from local officials and leaders in the UK.
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, his family said.
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 said he was deeply saddened by the incident. His thoughts are with their families and those affected by this terrible incident, a spokesperson said.
The city's funicular railways - Glória, Lavra, Bica and Graça - are a popular tourist attraction known for their yellow tram-like vehicles.
Officials noted that a cable along the railway's route snapped, and while the rest of the mechanism was functioning properly, the brakeman's emergency brakes failed to prevent the derailment. The cause of the crash remains unknown.
