POLICE have launched an urgent appeal for help in finding a missing woman who has not been seen since the weekend.

Clare Kirkbride from Eastbourne went missing on Sunday - although the alarm was not raised until Tuesday morning.

There have since been two appeals for information on her whereabouts from Sussex Police, but the 60-year-old has not yet been found.

Clare is white, about 5ft 1in tall and slim with short red/brown hair.

It is not known what she is wearing, but she usually wears waterproof clothing with gloves and hiking shoes.

A Sussex Police spokesman said: "Anyone who sees Clare or who has any information as to her whereabouts is asked to call 999 quoting serial 282 of 01/02."
