The families of the five men who died in the Titanic submersible implosion have been paying tribute to their lost loved ones.

Relatives of the renowned French diver Paul-Henri Nargeolet said he will be remembered as "one of the greatest deep-sea explorers in modern history".

The family of one of Pakistan's richest men, Shahzada Dawood, who was onboard the sub with his 19-year-old son Sulaiman, said they were "overwhelmed with the love and support that [the search and rescue mission] received and grateful to the those who showcased the best in humanity.”

The family of British billionaire explorer Hamish Harding have said: "If we can take any small consolation from this tragedy, it's that we lost him doing what he loved."

Stockton Rush was the chief executive of OceanGate, the firm that operates the Titanic voyages on the lost submersible. In a BBC documentary, he once said, "I read an article that said there are three words in the English language that are known throughout the planet. And that's "Coca-Cola", "God", and "Titanic"."
