The families of three teenagers who died in a two-car crash in Wales have paid tribute to the schoolchildren, saying they are devastated by their losses.
Rhodri Miller, Corey Price and Alesha O'Connor - from Barry in south Wales - died in the crash at Powys just before 10.15pm on Friday.
Police say the 17-year-olds were travelling in a convoy of several vehicles on the A470 near Storey Arms when the crash happened.
Margaret Elizabeth Challis, 68, was also killed. Two others remain in hospital.
Seven teenagers were arrested over the incident and have been released on bail.
Rhodri, who was driving one of the vehicles, had only recently passed his driving test.
His parents described him as a "bright (and) talented" boy who had "so much to live for".
"He was studying for his A-levels at Bro Morgannwg School. He was a very popular boy inside and outside of school," they said.
"He loved his football, was a season ticket holder for Cardiff City Football Club, and loved going to the gym.
"He will be very sadly missed by family and friends, (and) all who knew him."
The parents of Alesha, who was Rhodri's girlfriend, described her as a "perfect daughter and friend".
"Alesha was beautiful, intelligent and artistic and had her whole life ahead of her," they said.
"We as a family would like to pass on our sympathy to the other families who have lost loved ones."
The parents of Corey Price said: "The family of Corey Price are devastated by the sudden and tragic loss of their wonderful gentle and caring son, brother, uncle and grandson.
"No words can explain how we are feeling but we are truly grateful of the support of our family and friends at this tragic time."
Rhodri and Corey were both pupils at Ysgol Bro Morgannwg School. Corey was a promising young footballer who had trained with the Cardiff City Football Academy.
Headteacher Dylan Jones told Sky News: "They were both very talented individuals.
"They were both full of fun, very sociable and part of a strong group of friends.
"It's been very shocking. As I understand it there were a number of friends from across a group of schools.
"It's such unexpected news and we heard it while we were having an eisteddfod here.
"Luckily we were all together but it was a shock nevertheless."
Superintendent Chris Curtis said: "This is a tragic incident and our thoughts are with the families at this difficult time.
"We are working with South Wales Police in order to provide support to the families affected and also the communities they live within.
"We will work with partners to ensure that the incident is fully investigated."
:: Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to contact Dyfed Powys Police on 101.
