Does anyone know the whereabouts of Keighley man Desmond Briggs?

His sister Rita, who lives in the Huddersfield area, has contacted the Keighley News as 'a last resort'.

She wants to find the brother whom she has only ever met once - in 1958.

"Can anyone help me with my mission impossible?" she asks.

Desmond is thought to be about 70 years old and is believed to have lived in the North Dean Avenue area of Keighley around 1958-60. He is known to have a sister called Marion who lives in the Leeds area.

"I have tried many ways of contacting him but without success," says Rita, 61. "It would be greatly appreciated if anyone can help."

Anyone with information can contact her on (01484) 514896.
