Volunteers from the West Mercia Search and Rescue's specialist water teams were expected to be on the River Severn during the day.

A spokesperson said: "Specialist water teams are supporting West Mercia Police with an ongoing search for a missing person."

Four days ago the organisation's kayak teams spent time on the river at Ironbridge. It was a return to the area for the volunteers to try to locate a high-risk missing person.

The Severn is still high following the recent storms.
