Tributes to the couple have been posted online, with Carly Louu writing on Facebook about the devastation she feels at the loss of her best friend.

She said: “I physically cannot express how I feel.

“A best friend of 15 years snatched from me so suddenly. If you met Hannah you’ll know she would instantly light up a room with her daft ways.

“We met at eight years old and became best friends ever since. It was always ‘Hannah and Carly,’ we were inseparable.

“My Hannah, spanner Hannah, and Jack were the loveliest couple. Whenever we got together for drinks me and Hannah used to torment Jack and he’d always be making us laugh, doing anything for Hannah and being a true gent that he was.

“It was only Thursday when we were reminiscing on our childhoods.

“I’d do anything just to call you right now and hear you tell me one of your funny stories Hannah. I am truly broken, I love you so much.”

Another friend has set up an online fundraising page in memory of Hannah and Jack.
