A Leeds University student was among the nine Britons killed in the MH17 disaster.
Richard Mayne, 20, had picked the flight specifically because he was diabetic and needed a stopover, his devastated dad said yesterday.
The maths and finance undergraduate was on board the flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur as he travelled to Perth, Australia.

He was studying maths and finance. His year abroad was to be spent in the agreeable, scorching surroundings of the University of Western Australia in Perth. Richard was sporty, charismatic, a talented rugby player. And the witty mid-point of a social situation.
Favourite rugby team, the Leicester Tigers.
