UPDATE - PLEASE READ

Hello lovely furpals,

I am posting this update with a heavy heart.

Bens family have announced in the last hour that Ben's body has been recovered from the River Calder. Naturally this is devastating news but I would like to thank each and every one of you who took the time to visit, repost, blog, tweet and facebook Ben's Poster. Your kindness and community spirit is very much appreciated.

Please send out love and healing vibes to the Manning Family who have showed strength and admirable courage throughout this ordeal.

RIP Ben - Though the caterpillars life is over, the butterflys has only just begun, spread your wings and fly xxxxxx

Such sad news to read on my first visit to your blog.

Thank you for spreading the word and doing everything you did to try and help.

I'm sure it is some small comfort to his family that people have them in their thoughts and their hearts.
