Two people who died in a house blaze in Cumbria have been named by police.

The bodies of Danny Earl, 25, and Jill Harrison, 22, were recovered from a mid-terraced property in the village of Knock, near Appleby-in-Westmorland.

Neighbouring properties were affected as the fire spread at about 2am on Sunday, but other residents were able to escape safely.
