Two British nationals die on holiday in Portugal

Two British nationals have died while on holiday in Portugal.

The two men were from Ipswich and aged 27 and 29, the BBC understands.

Local Portuguese media reports they drowned at a hotel in Albufeira and a fundraising page set up in their memory said they "tragically lost their lives less than 24 hours after arriving".

"We are supporting the families of two British men who have died in Portugal and are in contact with the local authorities," a spokesperson for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office told the BBC.
