This is the 11-year-old British boy who was on the Air France flight that vanished over the Atlantic Ocean.

Alexander Bjoroy, a boarder at Clifton College school in Bristol, was visiting his parents Jane and Robin in Brazil for half-term before returning to Britain on Sunday. They said today: "We confirm with deep sadness that our son Alexander was amongst the passengers. Naturally we are deeply upset about the loss of our son under such tragic circumstances."
