Heartbroken colleagues of a young woman killed in a car crash in Co Donegal have paid tribute to her.
Staff at Simpson's Bar and Restaurant in Carndonagh said Alana Harkin (18) had a smile that would "brighten up any room."
Ms Harkin and friend Thomas Gallagher, also 18, were both killed as they drove home from Simpson's at about 12.30am on Monday after Alana had been working there. The crash took place on the R238 at Terrawee, Gleneely, at about 12.45am.
Another man, understood to be another employee of Simpson's, was treated at Letterkenny University Hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
A fourth person in the car, another young woman, had been dropped off at her home in Glengad moments before the tragedy.
A message left late on Monday night on Simpson's Bar and Restaurant's Facebook page read: "It’s with a heavy heart that we lost our dear friend and colleague.
"Alana had a smile that would brighten up any room, she was always so bubbly and friendly, she will always have a special place in our hearts and will be sorely missed by all.
"We would like to send our deepest condolences to The Harkin & Gallagher families."
As a mark of respect Simpsons Bar and Restaurant will be closed on Friday and will reopen on Saturday, November 11th.
Ms Harkin had been a pupil at Carndonagh Community School and sat her Leaving Cert last summer.
Mr Gallagher was a sixth year secondary school pupil at Moville Community College who was studying for his Leaving Cert.
Their families are well-known and respected members of the local community.
Tributes flowed in on social media for the two young people, who were hugely popular in their respective schools and among their friends.
A full garda forensic investigation into the possible cause of the crash is ongoing.
Details of the young students' respective funerals are due to be released later on Tuesday.
Their remains will leave the Chapel of Rest at Mountaintop in Letterkenny on Tuesday at 1pm, going to their homes.
