SEARCHES are continuing for the missing former England wing Tom Voyce, who is believed to have died while driving across a swollen river during Storm Darragh.

The 43-year-old’s car has been recovered from the River Aln, near Alnwick, Northumberland, which he had been trying to cross using a ford.

Searchers gathered from first light today and scoured the banks of the river from the ford between Bolton and Abberwick all the way to the sea at Alnmouth.
