POLICE are continuing their search of the River Wharfe for missing newlywed Barry Collett.

Mr Collett, 29, and his new wife, Lynne, 25, disappeared while staying at a holiday home near Appletreewick nearly three weeks ago.

Police believe they drowned while walking towards Bolton Abbey just two days after their wedding.

Mrs Collett's body was recovered from the river near Addingham 12 days ago.

Divers from both North and West Yorkshire Police have made further searches of the river for Mr Collett but without success.

And, this week, Det Insp Neil Thewsey renewed his appeal for the public to be vigilant if they were walking near the river.
