Dr Prateek Joshi, Dr Komi Vyas and three young children: twin boys Nakul and Pradyut, both aged five, and daughter, Miraya, eight. Joshi, who worked at the Royal Derby hospital, is believed to have been travelling back from India, where his wife and children were based.

The Derby Hindu Temple paid tribute to the family on its Facebook page saying: "Dr Joshi [and his family] were devotees of our mandir and supported us through their sincere service."

Neil Ryan, who lived next door to them for two years, also described them as "the nicest family".

Akeel Nanabawa, Hannaa Vorajee and their daughter, Sara, aged four. The businessman Akeel Nanabawa, 36, had lived in London for 20 years.

Nanabawa built up a recruitment company, Rec2go, before establishing Iceberg Recruitment Services. The company's head office is in Gloucester but it also has "an extensive and operational branch in Ahmedabad", its website states.

His business partner Shoyeb Khan Nagori told MailOnline: "I had dinner with them last night. They were a lovely family and Akeel and his wife were extremely successful people."

Hannaa, 30, a trained midwife, was head of finance at Rec2go Ltd.

In a statement paying tribute to the family, their imam, Abdullah Samad, said: "Together, they were committed advocates for humanitarian causes - particularly the suffering of innocent Palestinians and the urgent need for accessible medical care in parts of India.

"They were widely loved and deeply respected. His quiet generosity, her warmth and kindness and their daughter's joyful spirit made a lasting impact on everyone who knew them."

The family had moved from Newport, south Wales, about 10 years ago.

Next door neighbours Henry and Ros Rickards, who have lived in the street for about 30 years, said the family were the best neighbours.
