Emergency crews are searching for an elderly man who went missing while walking on the West Norfolk coast yesterday afternoon.

Police, Coastguard and Lifeboat teams are looking for the 75-year-old, who was last seen heading from Brancaster towards Titchwell at around 5.10pm yesterday.

It is understood the man, who has not been named, was on a walk with members of his family at the time.
