The heartbroken family of two British siblings who died on holiday in Spain have told how their pleas for 'one last swim' turned to tragedy.
Siblings Ameiya, 13, and 11-year-old Ricardo Del Brocco - known affectionately as Maya and Jubs - were enjoying their 'first big holiday abroad' as a family, having jetted off to the Spanish resort of Salou to mark the start of the summer holidays last week.
Mother Shanice and father Ricardo Snr, both 31, had booked a stay with their six children at the four-star Hotel Best Necresgo located just metres from the ocean on the popular Llarga Beach.
Ameiya, who was said to have a love for fashion and athletics, and Ricardo, who dreamt of becoming a Youtuber when he was older, had visited Salou with their parents five years earlier and were keen to return, this time as a family of eight.
On Tuesday, they were nearing the end of their trip and had been enjoying a day at the beach when their dream vacation turned into a nightmare.
