A missing couple from the UK have been found dead in the aftermath of Spain's flash floods. Downpours hit the Valencia area last Tuesday (October 29), leaving a trail of devastation.

More than 200 people have been confirmed dead so far, while others remain missing. Two Brits in their 70s were among those missing in the days following the floods.

Tragically, the pair have been confirmed dead. They have been named as Don Turner, 78, and his wife, Terry, 74.

Their deaths were confirmed to the BBC by daughter Ruth O'Loughlin, from Burntwood, Staffordshire. She said their bodies were sadly found in their car on Saturday (November 2).

Ms O'Loughlin told the BBC her parents moved to Spain a decade ago as they 'always wanted to live in the sunshine'. She last spoke to her mum last Monday, when she had been 'moaning about the rain'.

They had reportedly told friends they were going out to get gas before the flash flood struck. "They're just very, very kind thoughtful people, are well-known, well respected in the area," Ms O'Loughlin added.
