Hundreds of people have shown their support for the family of missing Montgomery man James Corfield  who vanished from the Royal Welsh Show.

People gathered in Montgomery this morning in a vigil of support for James who has not been seen since leaving the White Horse pub in Builth Wells at midnight on Monday.

Crowds of close on 1,000 people gathered in the square in front of the Town Hall for the event organised by Town Crier Sue Blower. Those gathered also held a round of applause.

Brecon Mountain Rescue Team had its kayak search teams out today along with the police helicopter, as the search continued. Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service's drone has also been used along the River Wye.

Dyfed-Powys Police asked members of the public to stand down today to allow specialist teams to comb the area. It was being supported by South Wales Police and Devon and Cornwall Police, as searches were conducted on land, water and from the air.
