A father-of-two reportedly from Surrey and living in New Zealand was among passengers on board the downed Malaysia Airlines plane, his family has said.

The family of Robert Ayley, 28, said they were "desperately sad" to confirm the Briton was on board flight MH17.

UK experts are on their way to Ukraine to assist with the inquiry into the crash, which killed 298 people, including 10 Britons, on Thursday.

The Air Accidents Investigation Branch is also helping to investigate.

It is believed the aircraft was brought down after being hit by a surface-to-air missile fired from a rebel-held area in east Ukraine.

Among the British passengers believed to have died in the crash were football fans John Alder and Liam Sweeney, World Health Organization press officer Glenn Thomas and student Ben Pocock, who was travelling to Australia as part of his studies.

Relatives of Mr Ayley, reportedly from Guildford, said in a statement posted on Facebook: "Rob was our everything.

"We adored him and there was no one else like him. He touched so many hearts and lives. We are grateful to forever have him in our hearts."

Mr Ayley's family said he had been on a trip to visit Rottweiler breeders in Europe.

The statement said he was "passionate" about life and his family.

"Rob will live forever in his family," they said.

Meanwhile, a UK charity has said it is caring for a disabled child whose mother, father and siblings were on the plane.

'Held to account'

Downing Street said Prime Minister David Cameron and US President Barack Obama had agreed in a phone call that an independent investigation should get under way as soon as possible.

"Those responsible must be held to account," a No 10 spokesman said.

They also discussed potential new sanctions on Moscow over Ukraine, he said.

Meanwhile, the government's Cobra emergency committee is set to meet again later.
