The family of the father and daughter who were killed in a river crash in Chapel St Leonards said their lives have “been shattered forever at such a tragic loss”.
The family have now released a tribute to India and Daniel: “Danny was the best father ever to India and Ralf, and was the deeply loved husband of Maria. India was the most beautiful, funny and vibrant sister and daughter.
“Our lives have been shattered forever at such a tragic loss.
“We would like to thank all the members of the public and emergency services for such a valiant effort in the rescue attempts for Danny and India.
“This was a tragic loss of a wonderful father and daughter, who were both lovely and highly thought of. Thank you to everyone and once again, we ask privacy to grieve.”

Seascape Cafe NSO, where India worked, closed on Tuesday as staff dealt with the tragic loss and they have since issued their own tribute to her.

The cafe has since said that India and Danny’s family would like to personally thank the members of the public and all involved in helping at the scene of the incident, saying “showing their gratitude would give them a little more peace at this difficult time”.
The force has emphasised that investigators are not suggesting the vehicle was involved or contributed to the crash.
Anyone with information or dashcam footage should contact Lincolnshire Police on 101 or via email at [email protected], quoting incident 263 of February 24.
