Doctors in India say 270 bodies have been recovered from the site of Thursday's plane crash in Ahmedabad. The London-bound aircraft crashed into a residential area shortly after take-off killing all but one of the 242 passengers, a 40-year-old British man.

Three days after the crash, only 35 bodies had been handed over to relatives from an overall official death toll of 270.

The district authorities have also appointed a point person for each of the families for grief counselling and helping with queries and last rites arrangements.
