An elderly couple from the UK have died in a house fire in Spain.

It is believed the fire which happened in Denia, near Benidorm, at around 11am this morning was started from a cigarette butt.

A neighbour close to the property noticed no flames but told emergency services there were blacked out windows.

The man, 78, and woman, 84, were found inside the property and they were pronounced dead at the scene.

Firefighters found the inside of the home already gutted, suggesting the fire could have happened a few days ago.
