Two friends from the UK who died while on holiday in Portugal have been named and pictured for the first time.
Tributes have been paid to Mo, 27, and King, 29, who were discovered at the bottom of a swimming pool at the Duas Palmeiras hotel in Albufeira in the early hours of Tuesday.
Friends described them as ‘gentle, kindhearted souls who brought light into every room they entered.’
Angelo Antonio, Marco Mendonca and Sanoueli Bamba, who have set up a fundraiser to help bring their bodies back to the UK, said: ‘[They were] the kind of people who would drop everything to help you, no questions asked.
‘They were warm, loyal, funny and full of dreams. The sort of men you never hear a bad word about because there simply were none.

Mo and King’s families are not only facing ‘every parent’s worst nightmare, but also the overwhelming cost of bringing their sons home.
The fundraiser said that the total cost to return them to the UK is at least £10,000.
