An elderly man with dementia who had been missing from his home in Maida Vale has been found following a police appeal.

Richard Cummings, 85, had not been seen since the afternoon of April 9 and officers in Westminster said they were concerned as he was not believed to have his medication or any money with him.

Police said on Thursday (April 14) that he had been found after being admitted to an east London hospital, and was safe and well.

They thanked the media and the public for their assistance with the appeal.

Police in Hounslow are still appealing for help to find 21-year-old Gizel Dias , who went missing on Tuesday (April 12).
