The British couple killed in the Lisbon funicular crash have been remembered as 'hugely talented' members of the theatre community dedicated to 'inspiring the next generation'.
Theatre director Kayleigh Smith, 36, and her partner Will Nelson, 44, a lecturer at Manchester's Arden School of Theatre, were named as two of the three Britons who died after the popular tourist attraction derailed in the centre of the Portuguese city on Wednesday night.
The third British victim, who is said to be an 82-year-old man, has yet to be named.
To add to the tragedy, it has been revealed by Portuguese news outlets on Saturday that Mr Nelson may have initially been mistaken for the German father of a three-year-old child, who were both riding the funicular along with his wife at the time.
The man, who has not been named, was initially declared dead, but it was confirmed on Friday he had been found recovering in hospital.
