The third British victim killed in Lisbon’s funicular crash was appointed by the police.

David Young, 82, of Holyhead on Anglesey, was one of 16 people who died last Wednesday when the Glória Funicular derailed and crashed in a building in the capital of Portugal.

His family described him as a “life enthusiast for life”, saying that it was a comfort that “his last moments were looking for the hobby that gave him so much happiness”.

During the weekend, Cheshire police confirmed that the other British victims were Kayleigh Smith, 36, and his partner Will Nelson, 44.

Known of most under the name of Dave, he was raised to Auchterader, Perthshire, but moved to Holyhead in 1980 where he had a “long career as customs officer”.

“Returning, he liked to visit heritage railways and trams around the world,” said his family.

Llinos Medi, deputy for Ynys Môn, sent his condolences to Mr. Young’s family and “to those who were affected”.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said he was “deeply saddened” by the incident.

“His thoughts concern their families and the people affected by this terrible incident,” said a spokesperson.

“We are united in Portugal during this difficult period.”

Funicular railways of the city – Glória, Lavra, Bica and Graça – are a popular tourist attraction known for their yellow tram -shaped vehicles.

The officials said that a cable along the railroad route had broken, but the rest of the mechanism worked properly.

Braking has tried to apply emergency brakes but did not prevent the derailment,

The cause of the accident remains unknown.

The nationals of Portugal, South Korea, Switzerland, Canada, France, Great Britain, Ukraine and the United States are among the police.
