Rescuers have described the harrowing moment they found a British brother and sister, 11 and 13, dead, and their exhausted father alive in the stormy seas off a Spanish beach.
The children tragically lost their lives after getting into trouble while swimming in the water off Llarga beach in Salou, Tarragona, on Tuesday night.
Previous reports claimed it was two brothers who had lost their lives, but officials confirmed this afternoon the dead children were a girl and a boy.
Inspector Jose Luis Gargallo, head of Salou's local police force, said the initial 112 call received pointed to three people drowning.
He said: 'Local police rushed to the scene and saw that there were indeed three people who were really struggling to get out of the water.
