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.
