The third British victim killed in the Lisbon funicular crash has been named by police.

David Young, 82, from the Holyhead area on Anglesey, was among the 16 people who died last Wednesday when the Glória funicular derailed and crashed into a building in Portugal’s capital.

North Wales Police confirmed on Monday that Mr Young’s family had been informed.

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

“His thoughts are with their families and those affected by this terrible incident,” a spokesperson said.

“We stand united with Portugal during this difficult time.”

The city’s funicular railways – Glória, Lavra, Bica and Graça – are a popular tourist attraction and known for their yellow tram-like vehicles.

Officials said a cable along the railway’s route snapped, but the rest of the mechanism was functioning properly.

The brakeman tried to apply emergency brakes but failed to prevent the derailment, The cause of the crash remains unknown.

Nationals of Portugal, South Korea, Switzerland, Canada, France, Britain, Ukraine and the US are among the dead, according to police.
