Friends remember tragic flood couple

TRIBUTES have been paid to a 'wonderful' couple who died after huge floods swept them away while hiking on holiday in Majorca.

Sarah Jane Thompson, 26, and her boyfriend Alexander Barrett, 32, were found dead following a major search and rescue operation on the Spanish island earlier this month. The couple disappeared on Tuesday, September 3, during a hiking expedition.

Sarah, who lived in Levenshulme, was found dead in the Torrent de Pareis region of the Tramuntana mountain range the following day. But the search continued for Alex, who was last seen desperately trying to save his girlfriend from the sudden floods.

His body was found on Friday, September 6.
