'Keep our candles burning and our light shining' says mum of missing fishermen after his body was located
The mum of one of the two missing Devon fishermen has posted online that her son's body was found in the boat of the Joanna C, which sank off the coast of East Sussex on Saturday.
In the very emotional post Sarah Jayne Harper has thanked all those who've lit candles and sent messages of support over the past few days.
She's asked that the candles continue to burn.
A spokesperson for Sussex Police said: "Following the tragic incident on 21 November in which the fishing boat Joanna C capsized south of Newhaven, the body of one of the two missing fishermen was recovered by divers from the wreck last night, Monday 23 November.
He has been identified as Adam Harper, 26, from Brixham, Devon, and his next of kin have been notified.
Robert Morley, 38, from Pembrokeshire, is still missing.
"Our thoughts are with their families at this time."
