Huw Edwards leads tributes to former BBC editor Aled Glynne Davies after body is found in river

Tributes have been paid to a “kind and generous man” whose body has been found in Cardiff four days after he went missing. Aled Glynne Davies, who was 65, was reported missing on New Year’s Eve after leaving his home in the Pontcanna area of the Welsh capital.

Mr Davies was a former radio editor for the BBC, and his disappearance led to hundreds of people joining the search to find him and a widely-shared appeal on social media, including his son Gruffudd calling on people to check any CCTV footage they may have had in an attempt to trace his whereabouts.
