Two people who died in an avalanche in the French Alps earlier this week were a mother and son, their family have said.
The pair have been named as Kate Vokes, 54, and her son Archie Vokes, 22, from Manchester.
They lost their lives after the avalanche swept through an off-piste section of the resort of Saint-Gervais-les-Bains near Mont Blanc on December 28.
Kate was chair of the Oglesby Charitable Trust, a director of their family-owned property company Bruntwood, deputy chair of the Royal Exchange Theatre and a trustee of charities Shared Health and Focused Care.
Archie was a personal trainer at Form in Manchester, and in the previous year had achieved his level 1 ski instructor qualification in Canada.
