The children of Algarve ttragedy victims Bob and Debbie Fry and Jean Dinsmore are doing well considering the shattering blow they have suffered, says their family.

Rosie and George Fry, 11 and nine, and Lydia Dinsmore, 11, are being cared for by Roy Dinsmore and Mrs Fry's sister in Portugal while arrangements are made to fly them home.

Mr Dinsmore's father Keith, 71, said: "I have spoken to Roy several times since, and he is holding himself together.

"He told my wife that the kids were doing brilliantly, given the circumstances."

Mr Dinsmore said he expected the survivors to remain in Portugal until at least the end of the week.
