David Lee, the 81 year old that has been missing since Thursday, has been found and taken to hospital.

On Sunday morning police said: ‘We would like to express our thanks to the great Manx public for all your help.

‘Due to all the assistance provided and your vigilance, David has been located and is being supported by all emergency services.’

He was located thanks to a member of the public and was near one of the recreational trails in South Barrule. He indicated he had recently walked into that location and that he had been walking around the area for some days.

Mr Lee went missing on Thursday prompting searches of the South Barrule and Round Table areas.
