The final two British victims of doomed flight MH17 have been named as a charity in Newcastle revealed a child in its care has been orphaned by the crash.
John Allen, who worked at international law firm NautaDutilh, has been described as a "much-loved colleague". He died on the flight alongside his Dutch wife, Sandra Martens, and their three sons - Christopher, Julian and Ian.
"He was a person with many talents, and in addition to his professional contribution to our firm he generously shared his musical and athletic abilities with us as well," the firm said.
John Allen was killed along with his wife Sandra Martens and three sons "All of us who had the privilege of working with John during his 18 years at NautaDutilh came to know him as a kind, down-to-earth and humorous man and many of us have also lost a friend. He will be dearly missed."
His sister Wonder Allen Smith posted a picture of her brother on Facebook with the following statement: "I lost my whole family, my only brilliant brother and his beautiful wife and three magnificent children in the mh17 airplane crash".
The final British person onboard the flight has been named as Andrew Hoare.
Meanwhile, the Percy Hedley Foundation, which cares for disabled people, said it has been unable to contact the family of one of the children in its care. It said it was working with authorities to try and establish what has happened to them.
The foundation has not revealed the nationality of the child or the family.
Six of the British victims on flight MH17 Another British victim Robert Ayley has been confirmed as being on board the Malaysia Airlines flight. A friend of Mr Ayley has told how the father-of-two almost missed the flight.
Bill Patteson, who was travelling with the 27-year-old around Europe visiting Rottweiler breeders, has told Sky News his friend didn't make it onto the bus to take him from his hotel to Amsterdam's Schiphol airport.
But Mr Ayley, who was originally from Guildford but moved to New Zealand as a child, managed to get there in time to board the ill-fated Malaysia Airlines flight, which was shot down over Ukraine with almost 300 people on board.
An ex-journalist, helicopter pilot, students and Newcastle United fans are among the other British victims.
Mr Patteson, who flew back to New Zealand the day before, said: "There were so many things that came together to make Rob be on that flight.
"The stars really had to align for Robert to be on that flight, even right down to the last minute.
"Everyone was hoping he'd missed the flight, but Robert being the great organiser that he was managed to get on his flight."
Mr Patteson described his friend as a "really great, confident young man" who was proud of his British roots.
Mr Ayley's wife Sharlene wrote on Facebook: "Rob was our everything. We adored him and there was no one else like him. He touched so many hearts and lives.
Briton Stephen Anderson was on board MH17 "We are grateful to forever have him in our hearts."
Mr Ayley's family said he was passionate about life and his family, adding that when it came to Rob "there were no half measures".
"He found in his boys two little people he could love, understand and trust," they said.
"When they cried they were sad, when they laughed they were happy and when they hugged it was because they loved him."
The statement added: "Sharlene and Rob are soul mates. She is his 'Princess'. She changed his life and he changed hers.
"She held his heart and he held hers. Rob will live forever in his family."
