A woman's body has been found on a beach in Wales.

Police say the body of Sian Batchelor, 32, was found on a beach near Pennar, Pembroke Dock, on Tuesday evening.

Her family have described her as a "beautiful, funny, lovely person" in a tribute released through police in Pembrokeshire, who are appealing for information.

Officers say they are treating her death as unexplained.

In a statement, Ms Batchelor's relatives said they were "devastated" by their loss.

"We will treasure the good times we had with her," they said.

"We would now like time to grieve and would ask to be given privacy in which to do so."

Dyfed-Powys Police say they are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding Ms Batchelor's death.

The force is particularly keen to speak with people who saw Ms Batchelor, or who were in contact with her, between 25 and 30 April.
