CONCERN has been raised for the welfare of a 65-year-old man who has been missing for a week.

Family members are concerned about Peter Sparkes, from Rustington, who was last seen on Tuesday, October 10.

He travelled by train from Angmering to Brighton on that morning and had told a neighbour that he was going to visit relatives in Sutton, South London.

Although there are currently no suspicious circumstances around Peter's disappearance there is increasing concern as he has not been heard from at all.

Peter is described as white, 5ft 8in, and slim, with short brown hair. He had a goatee beard when last seen and was also carrying a rucksack.

If you have seen Peter, on the rail network or elsewhere, or know where he might be, contact Sussex Police on 101, or online quoting serial 387 of 13/10.
