Paul Smith's body was recovered in Scapa Flow

A diver whose body was found in Scapa Flow in Orkney last week has been named by police.

He was 70-year-old Paul Smith, from the Greater Manchester area.

Mr Smith had been reported missing near the wreck of the German battleship SMS Markgraf on 28 September.

His body was recovered last Monday, close to the island of Cava, by a team of Royal Navy divers who had been drafted in to assist Police Scotland.

Mr Smith's relatives have been informed.
