Friends of missing man Daniel Hives said "we need our boy home" as they gathered in Lancaster to help with the search for him.
Daniel has been missing for almost three months, having last been seen on the night of December 10 2022 leaving an address in City View, Sidings Close, Lancaster, which is close to the River Lune.
Friends of the dad-of-one set up a table near the Millennium Bridge on Friday morning displaying Daniel's face, and gave out posters and flyers, hoping it will help with the search to find him.

Isobel Seedall, Daniel's friend, said: "We've called for public help hoping that it can lead to something, anything, whether it's just to get his face out there more, or to hopefully find him. Please just come forward. We need our boy home.
"We're going to give leaflets and flyers out. We've done a social media up and we're splitting people up, sending them to different areas of Lancaster, to have a general search really."
Paige Bradley, another friend of Daniel's, said: "Dan is just the biggest presence you would ever meet. Any time he would walk into your house, you would just feel it."
Paige said that Dan was originally from Coventry, then moved to Preston about eight years ago, and has recently been staying in Lancaster.
Another friend of Dan's, Jordan Harris, said: "I've known Dan about 10-12 years. It's pretty heartbreaking, to be honest.
"He's funny, kind, loving, a genuine person. I don't know how this has happened. We need to get to the bottom of it.
"We've had a lot of love from Lancaster, people are coming down today, I don't even know them, to help find my friend. It's positive."
Extensive searches have taken place since Daniel’s disappearance and these are continuing.
A public Facebook group 'Join the Search to Find Daniel Hives' has also been set up.
Daniel, who has links to Preston, is described as 6ft tall, of slim build, with short brown hair. He was wearing a blue Hugo Boss tracksuit and black trainers.
Lancashire Police’s search teams which includes dogs and drones have been involved, as has the police’s North West Underwater Search and Marine Unit, specialist water rescue personnel and dogs from Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service, together with Lancaster Area Search and Rescue and the National Police Air Service.
Anyone with information about Daniel and where he might be, please contact police on 101 – quoting log 0250 of December 12.
