GLOUCESTERSHIRE police are concerned about the welfare of an 85-year-old Bishop's Cleeve man, who has been missing from home for almost 72 hours.

Stanley Coles left his home in Ashmead Drive, Gotherington, near Bishop's Cleeve, at around 6.30pm on Friday July 18 and has not been seen since.

Although in general good health he may have some memory issues and his family are very concerned for his wellbeing.

He is described as white, around 5ft 6 and of slim build.

When he left home he was wearing a light coloured, long sleeved grey shirt, a grey sleeveless jumper, brown trousers and black Wellington boots.

He is well known in Gotherington and police are appealing to anyone who knows him to keep a look out and get in touch if they know of his whereabouts.

They would also like to hear from anyone who recognises his description or who has seen an elderly man in a confused or injured state to contact them on 0845 090 1234
