Katie-Louise Rowland, 17, and her boyfriend Daniel Eyre, 21, were travelling in a green Mini Cooper on Severalls Road in Methwold Hythe when it came off the road and crashed into a tree.

They described her as 'the best sister, daughter, granddaughter and niece that we could ever have wished for'.

'Katie will always be remembered for her choice words and mumbling, 'there's never anything to eat in this house' (i.e. no Mars bars or McDonalds).

'She has left us with a hole that no one will ever fill. Sleep tight sweetheart. Until we meet again x.'

The family of Daniel, from Kings Lynn, described him as 'one in a million' and paid tribute to his 'loving and caring ways'.

His family – mother Valerie, father David, three sisters Kylie, Charlene and Natasha and grandad Charlie – said: 'He will be missed by many people, never be forgotten and always have a place within our hearts. He was a family lad, always so close to his mum, dad, sisters and grandad.
