British tourists killed in France avalanche pictured for first time as tributes pour in

The two British nationals who lost their lives in an avalanche last week have been pictured for the first time. Stuart Leslie, 46, and Shaun Overy, 51, were holidaying in the ski resort of Val d'Isere, France, when tragedy struck on Friday, February 13.

The pair were part of a group of four skiing off-piste under the supervision of an instructor when they were swept down the valley by an avalanche.

Another skier, a French national, who was skiing solo above the Brits also lost their life.

Leslie was a sales and marketing director for Barratt Redrow construction company, while Overy ran a plumbing business in Wimbledon, southwest London.

Leslie is believed to have been an experienced skier and a fan of off-piste tracks.
