Two British nationals are among the victims of a devastating flood that has hit the popular tourist island of Majorca.

At least nine people are believed to have died when torrential rainstorms deluged the town of Sant Llorenc, about 40 miles east of the capital Palma, on Tuesday evening.

The Foreign Office said it was supporting the families of two British people killed in the floods.

Two others killed in the area were locals.
