SEARCH teams have found a man that went missing safe and sound.
Patrick Graysmark, 68, was found between Goring and Ferring at around 10:30pm last night, July 3.
The man from Goring went missing at around 5pm earlier in the day. Police found his mobility scooter near a cafe on Goring seafront, although he was nowhere to be seen.
The police had released a photograph and description of Patrick, saying he is white of large build, with fluffy grey hair.
He was last seen wearing a grey t-shirt and shorts as well as possibly having a navy blue fleece jumper.
Search teams from HM Coastguard were deployed in order to find him. There were all types of equipment out looking for Patrick, including cars, boats and a helicopter.
There was a worry he may have been in the sea as a helicopter scanned the water with a searchlight.
Patrick was eventually found after five and a half hours of searching by teams.
