The colleagues of a missing firefighter have become increasingly concerned for his welfare as they appeal to find him.

Daniel Lee, 41, was last seen in St Mary's Parsonage, near to pizza bar Crazy Pedro's, in Manchester at about 01:10 BST on Monday, police said.

Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) crews have been active on Twitter in their attempts to locate Mr Lee, a watch manager.

GMFRS Station Commander Carl Haslam asked people to "keep retweeting".

Mr Lee was last seen wearing a blue, white and black Fila jacket, light blue jeans and a black t-shirt in a photograph taken before he went missing, Greater Manchester Police said.

Police searching for a firefighter who went missing on a night out with friends and colleagues in Manchester have found a body.

Daniel Lee, 41, was last seen leaving Mojos, a bar on Bridge Street, at about 01:10 BST on Monday, police said.

A man's body was recovered on Thursday from the River Irwell in Ordsall, Salford, at about 15:45 BST.

The Greater Manchester force said Mr Lee's family had been informed.

Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) said Mr Lee, a watch manager, was a "much-loved" employee.

In a statement, chief fire officer Dave Russel said colleagues were "shocked and deeply saddened" by his "untimely death".

He said: "This is a tragic end to a very difficult week and not the outcome we all so desperately hoped for.

"Dan, who served with GMFRS for 16 years, was a popular and valued member of our GMFRS family and he will be greatly missed."
