He was last seen in McKellar Street, Gore around 5.30pm and was wearing a maroon/burgundy woolen jersey, blue collared shirt, tweed cap and charcoal grey trousers.


Brian also has an Apple Airtag that may be picked up by other users of Apple devices.



His family said Brian is fit and suggest he may be walking around, perhaps on the side of the road or heading out of town.


Anyone who sees him should contact the Police by calling 111 (quote event number PO59789336) or his family on 027 4414443.


The weather in Gore this evening remains clear and 13 degrees but is expected to drop to 9 degrees later on with scattered showers.
