Candlelit vigils have been held along the Kent coast for six-year-old Lucas Dobson, who is still missing after falling into the River Stour in Sandwich on Saturday.

Police have thanked everyone who has helped look for him, but have asked members of the public to stay away from the area today as they focus their search on the water itself.
