Emergency services cordoned off the Burgage park next to the River Teme in Tenbury Wells on the south Shropshire border, after concerns were raised over the missing man last Friday.

Despite the search of the River Teme area, the man, said to be in his 40s, remained missing throughout the week.

He had now been found safe and well, a West Mercia Police spokesman said.

He said: "Thanks to the excellent response from the public, police followed a lead which has resulted in the man being found safe and well. We would like to thank the public for their help with this matter."
