A sad start to UK half term school break.

Three Britons and a German national have drowned off the south-west coast of the Algarve, in Portugal.

Three other Britons were in hospital following the incident near the town of Sagres, said the Foreign Office.

Local authorities said they dived in to try to help three children later washed ashore with slight injuries.

The British ambassador had contacted the civil governor, and the British consul in Portimao was travelling to the area, the Foreign Office added.

Dreadful news Tabbitha- I was watching this on the news and it seemed to me they(the reporters) were trying to imply it was someones fault...as there is no life guards there this time of year.

Thoughts are with the kids and the families involved
