Man, 82, among UK victims

- BY PHIL CARDY and LUCY THORNTON

THREE Britons were among the 16 killed in Lisbon's Gloria funicular tram crash.

Kayleigh Gillian Smith, 36, and William Nelson, 44, were last night named as victims.

The couple had been on holiday and are said to have arrived just a day before the crash in the Portuguese capital.

It is believed they were from the North West.

The other Briton was an unnamed man aged 82.

Twenty-two people were also injured when the 140-year-old carriage hurtled down a hill, smashing into a building at 6.15pm on Wednesday.
