Jenny Cawson, 36, and her husband Tariq Sinada, 49, from Devon, are believed to be among seven people still unaccounted for after the Sea Story went down off the coast of Egypt early on Monday.

Recalling the moment he was told of the incident, Jenny's father Michael Williams told the BBC: "We were just in disbelief, it’s one of those moments when the world stops."

The family complain the UK Foreign Office is not giving them enough information about the incident and search operation being conducted by Egyptian authorities.

The Foreign Office said it was providing "support to a number of British nationals and their families following an incident in Egypt".
