Police are continuing to search for an elderly man who vanished from a north London hospital.
Anthony, 79 - whose surname is being withheld - was reported missing from Barnet General Hospital at around 7pm on Saturday.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said the public may notice an increase in officers as they attempt to locate the pensioner and ensure his welfare.
He was wearing black jeans, a black jacket and black shoes and has links to nearby Hampstead Heath and Finchley.
Under national guidance adopted by the Met but not all forces, appeals for vulnerable missing people are restricted to the first names only to protect future privacy and reduce their long-term digital footprint.
