Heartfelt tributes have been paid to a "funny" and "caring" granddad who was found to have died days after going missing.
Ray Griffiths was much-loved member of his local community in Hebburn. The 64-year-old devoted his time to cleaning up the area and prepared meals which he handed out to the homeless and the elderly.
On Saturday, May 21 police released an urgent appeal to trace Ray after his loved ones were unable to get in touch with him. His body was sadly found two days later near Monkton Stadium by the Northumberland National Park Mountain Rescue team.
