The University of Strathclyde in Glasgow has paid tribute to its student Suleman who died in the Titan submersible alongside his father Shahzada and three others.

The university said in a statement that staff and students are "shocked and profoundly saddened by the death of Suleman Dawood and his father in this tragic incident".

Shahzada Dawood was a founding patron of Prince’s Trust International. The charity said it was deeply saddened by the tragedy and "valued [the Dawood family's] support of our work in Pakistan for many years".

The British Asian Trust also paid tribute to Shahzada, describing him as a "wonderful and generous man who supported our work in South Asia for many years" and his son Suleman as someone who was "just emerging into adulthood with a promising future ahead".
