Body recovered in search for diver missing off Orkney

There was police activity in Stromness during the search operation

A body has been recovered in the search for a diver who went missing off Orkney last month.

A search involving coastguard and RNLI volunteers began after he failed to return to a dive boat at Scapa Flow on 28 September.

A team of Royal Navy divers also assisted and recovered the body.

Police Scotland said no formal identification had yet taken place, but the family of the missing man had been informed of the development.

A spokesperson said their thoughts were with his family and friends.
