Missing persons photos on display

Mark Garvey only had enough money for a bus fare

Unique photographs of people who went missing as youngsters are being shown at a railway station as part of International Missing Children's Day.

The images show the possible age progression from the time the children and teenagers went missing to how they might look now.

They are on display at London's Liverpool Street station.

The subjects include missing youngsters from Sussex, the Isle of Wight, Birmingham and Merseyside.

The National Missing Persons Helpline (NMPH) is hoping the photographic exhibition will provide new clues as to their whereabouts.

It features Louise Kay who disappeared from Eastbourne, East Sussex, in June 1988 at the age of 18.

Louise Kay would now be 33 years old - she went missing aged 18

She had been to a nightclub with friends and was last seen dropping one of them home in her father's Ford Fiesta.

Damien Nettles is also included. He has been missing from the Isle of Wight since November 1996.

The 16-year-old had been out with friends and was last seen in West Cowes after buying chips.

Another subject is Mark Garvey. It is 16 years since his family last saw him in Bootle, Merseyside.

He was 15 when he disappeared in March 1987 after arguing with his girlfriend and saying he was going to the bus stop.

Patrick Warren, known as Paddy, was just 11 when he went missing from Chelmsley Wood, Birmingham, on Boxing Day 1996.

He had spent the day with a friend but did not go to his brother's house later that night as expected.

His images will also form part of the exhibition which runs on Liverpool Street's lower concourse from 1000 to 1900 BST.
