British grandfather, 85, is found ‘safe and well’ after disappearing in Spain’s Benidorm

A BRITISH grandfather has been found safe and well after disappearing during a holiday to Benidorm.

Ray Wall, 85, suffers from dementia and is easily lost or confused.

His grandson Jack Wall had launched an urgent appeal on social media to find him.

He wrote: “My granddad Ray Wall has gone missing from the Innside by Melia hotel, on the promenade to the right of the old town area of Benidorm.

“He is 85 years of age and has dementia so will be very confused.”

Responding to comments on the post, Jack told expats and fellow tourists that he was found ‘safe and well’ in the early hours of Friday.

He added: “He has been found, thank you all so much for sharing.”
