He is described as being a white male, 5ft 7 tall and with short white hair. At the time, he was wearing a black hoodie, blue jeans and cream coloured trainers.
Greater Manchester Police said Graham suffers with dementia and epilepsy and, as a result, can become easily confused and disorientated. He is known to visit parks and areas with water and it is believed he might now be in the Sale area.
Officers said they are becoming increasingly concerned about Graham and have appealed for the public’s help in locating his whereabouts. Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
