A man and woman have died after falling from a cliff at Cabo Da Roca in Portugal while taking selfies.

The couple from Poland were travelling with their children when the incident occurred on Saturday.

According to reports, the pair passed security barriers that are in place to keep tourists from the Lisbon cliff edge and slipped as they posed for a photograph.

Cabo de Roca is a popular attraction amongst tourist as it is the most western point of Europe and looks out over the Atlantic Ocean.

On Sunday, a rescue team discovered the Polish couple that had been residing in the country for the last number of years following a search that had to be abandoned on the Saturday due to adverse weather conditions.

The children, aged 5 and 6, are now in the care of Polish diplomats and seeing psychologists.
