Italian police divers during their search for tour­ists missing after the luxury yacht the Bayesian sank in a storm on Mon­day about half a mile off the coast of Porticello, Sicily, where it was moored. Fifteen people were rescued. Divers reached the hull on Wednesday afternoon and, when the Church Times went to press, six bodies had been recovered. None had been formally identified, but two were believed to be those of the tech tycoon Mike Lynch and his 18-­­year-old daughter. Two others were believed to be Jonathan and Judy Bloomer. The Rector of their church in Knockholt in Kent, the Revd Tim Edwards, told the BBC of the sense of shock that was being felt by the rest of the family
