“The support Deirdre & Patrick (Dean’s parents) have received from family, friends & complete strangers is totally overwhelming.
“Our searches will continue today, I will post shortly the next low tide meeting time.
“If you are out along the embankments this morning please keep an eye out along the waters edge.
“I must say a massive thank you to the Jack Glen family who have stood right beside us from the start.
“Once again many thanks for your support.”
