Images taken from CCTV footage shows Michael walking with a wooden stick along Long Lane, on Saturday afternoon at 12.48pm after he had gone out for a walk. He was wearing a dark grey hooded top and blue trousers.

An appeal was previously issued by the force earlier in the week, but new images have now been released in a bid to help trace him, in the hope he may be recognised by members of the public.
