He was last seen wearing grey trousers, brown shoes with white socks, a burgundy jumper and a long checked beige coat. He was also using a metal walking stick.

The pensioner was also picked up on CCTV at Bluewater Shopping Centre, in Greenhithe.

Mr Brown, who also goes by the name of Tony, may still be in the Northfleet area.

North Kent Insp Jamie Little said: “We are very concerned about the welfare of Mr Brown and are continuing to search for him.

“As well as assistance from residents, I’d like to ask commuters to think back to Thursday, January 18. Did you see him at the station? Did you see where he went?

“The station would have been busier than usual at that time due to people travelling home from work, so we are hopeful somebody might remember something.

“Please report any information you have, no matter what it is, as it may be useful to our investigation and help us find Mr Brown.”

Mr Brown has links to Gravesend, Woodley in Berkshire and Richmond, London. He may also have travelled to Surrey.

Anyone with information is asked to call 999 quoting reference 21-1299.
