THE family of Barry McLean would like to say a huge 'Thank You' to the police, and friends and neighbours in Waterside Close, Droitwich Spa, in helping search for Barry who is ill with Alzheimer's and went missing last Wednesday afternoon.

Special thanks to Sergeant M Smith, based at Droitwich Police Station, who co-ordinated the search, and Wpc Cath Bone who liaised with our family throughout the evening and was outstanding.

Barry was found exhausted but unharmed by police officers based at Rose Road Police Station, Harborne, Birmingham.

The police serving our community are a force to be proud of.
