The bodies of five people who died when their helicopter crashed on its way to Dublin have been recovered from the Sea.

They were from the same Irish family who lived in England, and were on their way to a christening here when their chopper hit a mountain in Wales.

North Wales Police have confirmed the deceased are Kevin and Ruth Burke aged 56 and 49, Donald and Sharon Burke aged 55 and 48 and 51 year old Barry Burke. All were living in the greater Milton Keynes area.

Chief Inspector Richie Green at North Wales Police has paid tribute to the "professionalism, bravery and skill of all those involved in this very challenging and distressing operation."

"Now all the bodies have been recovered the joint investigation with the Air Accident Investigation Board will begin in earnest to establish how this accident happened", he explained.
