Much-loved indie band Viola Beach remembered six years on from their tragic deaths in Sweden

The music world was today mourning the loss six years on of much-loved indie band Viola Beach and their manager.

The Warrington band - Kris Leonard, 19, River Reeves, 19, Tomas Lowe, 27, and Jack Dakin, 19 - and their manager Craig Tarry, 32, where all killed when their hired Nissan Qashqai plunged off a bridge into a canal in Stockholm, Sweden, after it drove through two barriers on a motorway.

The tragedy on February 13, 2016, remains a largely unexplained accident after a coroner at an inquest into the deaths said he didn't believe it would ever be known what exactly happened.
