       Angela was parted from husband James when a 4ft high wall of water poured through the home where they were staying.

       He was able to cling to a tree but animal charity worker Angela was swept out to sea with up to five of her dogs.

       Her brother Nick Eleini has now confirmed her body was found by her husband, who was part of a search party, in scrubland.

       Paying tribute to his sister, he said the family was "devastated" at the death of Angela who they "adored".

       “This is just such a terrible shock. We’re ordinary people, stuff like this just doesn’t happen to people like us but then it does," he said.

       “She would just walk into a room and lighten the room up and she loved her life, both when she was working in London and then she when achieved her life’s dream of going to work in the south Pacific."

       Heartbroken Nick said Angela and tattoo artist James moved to Tonga to start a new life and she worked with the Tonga Animal Welfare Society.

       "I understand that this terrible accident happened as they tried to rescue their dogs," he said.

       “She loved animals and dogs particularly. The uglier the dog, the more she loved it.

       “We would laugh at her when she sent us these photos on Facebook of dogs she had rescued. She was a lovely girl and she was the centre of our family. We’re just broken.”

       He added: "From a little girl it was always Angela’s dream to swim with whales and it was Tonga that gave her the opportunity that allowed her to fulfil these dreams."

       One of the dogs which was swept away as subsequently been found, though there's no sign of the others as yet.

       Nick had earlier said he feared worst and that was a case of “body retrieval” rather than finding her alive.

       “James was able to hold on to a tree for quite some period of time," he told New Zealand’s 1News.

       “I don’t know if Angela was swept away immediately or whether she was swept away afterwards.”

       Nick told The Guardian his sister had been washed away with four or five dogs who she was walking at the time.

       Her and her husband were housesitting at a home on the west coast of the island when the tsunami struck.

       “It’s excruciating. I can’t even believe the words are coming out of my mouth, to be honest," he said.

       Earlier Angela, who moved from London to Veitongo five years ago, posted a haunting last picture on Instagram.

       'WE ADORED HER'

       The image shows an ominous red sunset over Tonga in the wake of the volcanic eruption that led to the tsunami.

       “We’ve been under tsunami warnings today...everything’s fine... a few swells ....a few eerie silences,” she wrote.

       The Foreign Office confirmed it was helping a number of Brits following the massive undersea volcanic eruption.

       The effects of the blast, captured by satellite, were felt as far away as California where waves swept inland, causing floods.

       Power was out across Tonga as officials worked to assess casualty figures and damage.

       New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern said contact had still not been established with coastal areas beyond the capital, Nuku’alofa, which was “covered in thick plumes of volcanic dust”.

       Foreign Office minister Lord Tariq Ahmad, meanwhile, tweeted: “The UK stands ready to help and support our Tongan friends.”
