Two bodies have been found after three kayakers went missing on the River Tyne in Northumberland, police have said.
Emergency services have been conducting a search and rescue operation since the alert was raised on Sunday night.
The RAF and the Coastguard have been involved in the hunt after a call came in at 11pm yesterday saying the trio had failed to return home.
The area of the Tyne still being searched is around Riding Mill, about 15 miles (23km) west of Newcastle upon Tyne.
Police said the first body was recovered from the river by an RAF helicopter just after 5.10am and a second body just before 6.20am in the Corbridge area.
Two vehicles driven by the missing men were found by searchers overnight.
One was found at Tyne Green, near to Hexham Rowing Club just after 1am and the other a few hours later, at Wylam railway station car park.
Two kayaks have also been recovered from the group, who were from the South Shields area of South Tyneside.
Another green kayak has been seen close to a weir at Riding Mill.
The RAF helicopter has been flying low over the river after landing nearby in a field.
Superintendent Steve Howes, from Northumberland area command, said: "Our searches of the area are continuing today with assistance from the HM Coastguard and RAF Boulmer.
"Anyone who sees anything or has any information they think would assist with our searches should contact us."
Police said formal identification of the two bodes found earlier is yet to take place and searches are continuing.
