His partner described the 43-year-old as a "silent unsung hero" as she reflected on their "six years strong" relationship.

She said: "We're still very much in love with each other. He's a humble Suffolk gentleman who loves the outdoors.

"He could never say no to helping people and has supported our family in so many ways.

"He's so protective of us - he's friendly, dependable and loyal.

"All of his high school friends have been a great support and we all want the same end goal to get him home.

"We have been massively supported by DK9 rescue who have been out searching in the freezing cold weather and haven't asked for a penny."
