UPDATE: Henry has been found safe and well.

GMP said: "We're pleased to say that missing Henry (13) who was last seen in #Bolton has been found safe and well. He is now safely back home. Thank you for sharing our appeal!"

Police have issued an urgent appeal to find a teenage boy who told friends he was travelling to Manchester after finishing school for the day. Greater Manchester Police say officers are becoming increasingly concerned for Henry.

The 13-year-old from Clitheroe, in Lancashire, was last seen around 30 miles from home in Over Hulton, Bolton, on Thursday night (September 22). He was spotted on Salford Road at around 9.25pm.

GMP says the youngster left school on Thursday afternoon after telling a friend he was going to Manchester. The last time he was spoken to, Henry appeared to be in a confused state and reported that he was lost.
