Police searching for a 91-year-old man who went missing two months ago have recovered a body.

Fraser Tuddenham, from the Huntington area of York, had not been seen since he was believed to have gone out for a walk on 14 February.

A dog walker found a body at Strensall Common nature reserve on Saturday, where the majority of search activity had been focused.

A spokesperson for North Yorkshire Police said: "This is a very sad development, and our thoughts are with Mr Tuddenham's family and friends at this difficult time. We are grateful to everyone who assisted in the search."
