Almost all those on board an Air India flight bound for London Gatwick Airport that crashed shortly after take-off in western India have died, the airline has confirmed.
There were 242 passengers and crew on board the plane, including 169 Indian nationals, 53 Britons, seven Portuguese nationals and one Canadian.
At least eight local people, including four medical students, living in the area of Ahmedabad where the plane came down have also died, a senior health official told the media.
One passenger, British national Vishwashkumar Ramesh, survived the crash and was treated in hospital for injuries.
Details are still emerging, but these are the people so far confirmed by the media to have died.
The Nanabawa family

Three of the British nationals thought to have died in the incident were a family who lived in Gloucester.
Akeel Nanabawa, his wife Hannaa Vorajee and their four-year-old daughter Sara Nanabawa were all on board the flight.
A statement on behalf of their family said they were “heartbroken” and “devastated”, adding that “we are still coming to terms with the enormity of what has happened”.
“They were widely loved and deeply respected,” Imam Abdullah said.
“His [Akeel’s] quiet generosity, her [Hannaa’s] warmth and kindness, and their daughter’s [Sara’s] bright, joyful spirit made a lasting impact on everyone who knew them.
“This tragedy has shaken our entire community. In a place where people know and care for one another, the pain is being shared by many.”
Gloucester Muslim Society said it passed on its “most sincere and deepest condolences”.
“No words can truly ease the pain of such a profound loss, but we pray that the family may find solace in the tremendous outpouring of compassion and solidarity from communities across the world.
“May their cherished memories provide comfort, and may they rest in eternal peace.”
Adam and Hasina Taju, and their son-in-law Altafhusen Patel
Adam Taju, 72, and his wife Hasina, 70, were flying back from Ahmedabad with their 51-year-old son-in-law, Altafhusen Patel. All three lived in London.
The couple’s granddaughter, Ammaarah Taju, spoke of her shock and disbelief at her parents home in Blackburn.
She said her father, Altaf Taju, had driven to London to be with his sister as they received updates about the crash from Air India and government officials.
