DIVER’S BODIES RECOVERED

The bodies of James Harris, 36, from Dunbar, and Richard Smith, 56, from Edinburgh, were recovered on Saturday (19 May) from a Second World War shipwreck near the Firth of Forth.

The two men went missing last Sunday (13 May) while exploring the wreck, which lies about five miles northeast of Torness on the East Lothian coast.

A spokesman for Lothian and Borders Police said the next of kin of both men had been informed.
