A 91-year-old man with dementia who was missing overnight after he left his accommodation wearing slippers has been found.
Police officers launched a search for vulnerable James Kemp and on Sunday morning asked the public to watch out for the elderly pensioner.
The 91-year-old had last been seen at around 5pm on Saturday leaving his accommodation on Seafarer Way in Hendon, Sunderland.
James is in the early stages of dementia and Northumbria Police officers said they are growing increasingly concerned for his welfare.
He had last been seen wearing a cream jacket with a white shirt and light blue jeans.
He was also wearing white socks and slippers.
On Sunday morning, an update from Northumbria Police was released which said: "We're pleased to say that 91-year-old James Kemp has been found this morning safe and well.
"Thank you all for supporting our appeal."
