Earlier, the body washed up on Friday was identified as being that of Yahye.

Insp Andy McGregor, of North Wales Police, said: "Yesterday evening Yahye was identified by family members and our thoughts are very much with them at this time.

"They are being supported by specialist family liaison officers and we hope you can respect the family's privacy at this very difficult time."

His death is not being treated as suspicious.

The boys were part of a group of about 500 people from the Somali and Yemeni communities in Birmingham who were visiting the area on Sunday, 7 August.

Emergency services were called to the beach after one of the boys was seen to "disappear under the water".
