This is the dramatic moment a missing OAP was taken for medical treatment after being found in Ashford.
Edward Jones, who had been described as a vulnerable pensioner, had been last seen at noon on Monday walking towards South Ashford from the railway station.
His family were worried, as the 73-year-old sometimes gets confused and he became the focus of a thorough police search in the town, with police helicopters launched on two consecutive nights this week.
Members of Kent Search and Rescue tonight located Mr Jones close to Ashford town centre on Tuesday. He is now in the care of a medical team.
A spokesman for Kent Police said: "We would like to express our thanks to Kent Search and Rescue and to everyone else that helped with this appeal."
