A pensioner has been found 'safe and well' after going missing in Glasgow city centre.

An urgent appeal was launched to trace Hugh Craig, 80, who vanished from near the Pavilion Theatre in Renfield Street at around 1.20pm this afternoon.

His family and carers became increasingly concerned regarding the whereabouts of the pensioner - who has memory issues.
