Emergency services are looking for a three-year-old boy who went missing at a playground.

Police said Noah was at the playground in Brantham, Suffolk, at about 3pm when he was reported to have run down a nearby alleyway towards a newbuild housing estate.

We were extremely sorry to hear about the death of Dave Monk. We remember in particular his enthusiasm when he launched our #ColchesterPlaqueTrails

Dave was a champion of all that is good in Essex, the county will be all the poorer for his passing.
