A neighbour of missing mum-of-two Nicola Bulley has praised her partner Paul Ansell for his strength and courage, as the search moves into its 17th day.
Charlotte Drake said that the resilience shown by Paul is "nothing short of a miracle" as he continues to care for his two daughters and hold out hope that partner Nicola will be located.
Speaking in reference to his media interview, she said: "He does not want to break down on camera in view of millions of people watching and where his kids may see it. He has to remain strong as he has to hold on to hope we will find Nikki."
