A body has been found by police searching for a Hersham man who had gone missing.
Donald John Clarke, 81, was last seen at his home on May 26; he had left without his glasses and hearing aid, and he had no mobile phone.
Officers pulled a body from the River Mole near Hersham just after 8.30pm on May 27, and police believe it is Mr Clarke’s despite formal identification not having taken place yet.
The man’s death is being treated as unexplained, and police are supporting Mr Clarke’s next of kin, who have been informed.
