The bodies of Algarve tragedy victims Bob and Deborah Fry, and Jean Dinsmore are due to be flown home this weekend, say police.

A police spokesman said this afternoon: The bodies of the three deceased will be returned to the United Kingdom over this coming weekend, and formal identification, as is required by HM Coroner for Swindon & Wiltshire, will hopefully take place during Sunday afternoon or evening.

Following identification, an inquest will be opened by HM Coroner sometime next week.'' The identification, by members of the family, will take place either at Great Western Hospital in Swindon or at a chapel of rest in Wootton Bassett.

It is not yet known when the Frys' children Rosie and George and Roy Dinsmore and children Lydia and Alex will return home.

It is believed they will make the journey back to Wootton Bassett, where dozens of flowers have been left.

It is understood British Airways is flying the families home.

No funeral arrangements have yet been announced. It is expected that the Frys' funeral will take place in Wootton Bassett and Mrs Dinsmore's funeral will take place in her native Hereford.
