A search is continuing off the North Wales coast this afternoon for a missing fishing boat.

Three people were on board the Nicola Faith when it left Conwy but the vessel failed to return to the port on Wednesday night.

Two of the crew have been named as Alan Minard and Carl McGrath.

A major search operation in the Irish Sea, including lifeboats, helicopter and a plane, is now in its second day.

North Wales Police are also involved and broadcasts have been made to alert vessels in the nearby area.
