Nineteen die in balloon crash

Nineteen tourists - including three people from Britain - have died in a balloon crash in Egypt.

Witnesses said that the balloon exploded into flames before crashing into fields near Luxor.

According to local sources, Michael Rennie from Perth was injured - it has been reported his wife Yvonne is one of the victims.

Their neighbour, Linda Kettles, has been reacting to the news:

"We're just back from holidays ourselves, and its just devastating to think that you're going away on holidays and something like this happens and it’s the families I really do feel for," she said.
