The family of a Northern Ireland fisherman missing for 11 months were today mourning another tragic loss when his father died after being swept into the sea.

A painstaking search for the bodies of three members of a fishing family was continuing tonight.

Police divers are returning to a sunken fishing boat in a bid to recover the bodies of three generations of the same family.

A boat which vanished with three generations of one family aboard was today found 130ft below the sea.

Three generations of a family missing at sea were on a final fishing trip before their boat was to be decommissioned, it was revealed today.
