The search for the body of schoolboy Nathan Monaghan has been hampered by heavy rain and high water levels on the River Thames.

Nathan, 12, of Mackenzie Avenue, Milton Heights, disappeared on Saturday, November 9.

He was fishing near the Sutton Pools weir at Sutton Courtenay with his friend Joe McKenzie, from Sutton, when he slipped and fell into the river. He vanished under the water and has not been seen since.

Thames Valley Police divers have been checking the river bed and banks and the police helicopter has also joined the search.

Nathan's family and friends have been out every day combing the banks.

Nathan's stepfather Darren Roberts said: "It has been very disheartening that we have not yet found Nathan but we will continue until we do. We have gone downstream towards Clifton Hampden and beyond.

"Large areas surrounding the river are flooded and the flow of the river is very fast. The conditions make searching very difficult for everyone. But we will keep going because it's so important to us all that Nathan is found."
