Missing woman, 89, is found safe
An elderly woman from the Forest of Dean has been found alive, more than 24 hours after she disappeared.

Nancy Childs, 89, went missing from a nursing home in Staunton, in the early hours of Thursday.

A major search involving mountain rescue teams, the army and a police helicopter finally located her just before 1030 BST on Friday.

At 1100 BST paramedics were assessing her medical condition after she was found in woodland close by.
