Daniel Hives went missing in December 2022

Today is the 30th birthday of a man who went missing in Lancaster almost 16 months ago and his brother has made a renewed plea to find him.

Robbie Hives posted a message about his brother Daniel Hives who was last seen on the night of December 10 2022.

A missing person investigation continues.

"Happy 30th Daniel, I hope wherever you are, you're still having a smashing day," posted Robbie on the 'Join the Search for Daniel Hives' Facebook group, on Friday.

"Words cannot describe how horrible and hard it is not to have you here with us. 16 months of no word, no idea as to where you are.

"You should be with your family, friends and your son.

"We won't stop until we find you Daniel. We miss you more than words can describe and increase as the days go by.

"Please guys we're still desperate for any information that could help us bring Daniel home.

"If you have ANY information big or small, that could help us find Dan please contact Lancashire Police, using reference 0250 of 12th December 2022."
