Tributes have been paid to a Swansea University Students' Union worker who died while on a trip to Berlin.

Ben Rees, 23, from Aberdare, Rhondda Cynon Taff, worked in the union's events team after gaining a history degree from the university in 2014.

A union spokesman said: "Ben was a much loved and respected member of staff at the Students' Union and his presence will be deeply missed."

Mr Rees was also a DJ on student club nights.

A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We can confirm the death of a British national in Germany on 16 July. We are providing consular assistance to the family at this difficult time."
