Mr Middleton's sister Greta-Lee wrote: "You were truly beautiful in every way. You're my brother, my best friend, and now you're my angel! I love you!

"You were the biggest pain, but I wouldn't change you for the world! You looked after me like nobody else could, you were the first person I'd run to if I needed help, you knew exactly what to say to make everything better!"

A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "We are providing support to the family of a British national who died in Koh Phangan, Thailand."
