A body has been found in the search for 75-year-old Brian Perry after he went missing in the River Conwy on Saturday.
Perry went missing while walking his dog near Trefriw yesterday as flood waters caused by Storm Bert rose.
A search party which included police, an HM Coastguard helicopter, firefighters, and volunteers from Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Team all searched the area last night, but were unable to find him.
The search resumed this morning, and police have now revealed a body has been found.
