A man from East Sussex described as a "lovely and talented father" has been named as the 150th British victim of the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami.
The family of Robert Adamson, of Stone Cross, near Eastbourne, who was a keen traveller, contacted police to report him missing last October.
His body was identified from dental records by the Thai ID Commission.
Daughter Sara, 17, who has two younger brothers, said her father loved to travel the world, especially Thailand.
