An emotional family have trawled through miles of coastline in search of a missing swimmer who was last seen in the River Mersey.
Haydn Griffiths, 23, went missing at Derby Pool, in New Brighton, at around 10.30pm on Tuesday when he went swimming with a friend. The 23-year-old was attempting to swim out to the wind turbines when he disappeared in the water and didn't resurface.
A huge search was launched by the Coastguard and lifeboat volunteers along with police and the fire service, but was called off at around 5pm on Wednesday, July 20 after 18 hours.
