As the search continues today for missing woman Gillian Sarahs, who was reported missing early on Saturday morning, we will be keeping in close contact with Guernsey Police on their progress.

The search has been focused in the north and east of the island and has involved many volunteers. Mrs Sarahs has blonde hair, a fair complexion, is five feet and four inches tall and of a slim build. It is believed that she could be wearing a green knee-length coat, which is quite thick with a grey fur trim.

There was a power cut in the Bridge area at about 6.30 this morning which lasted at least a couple of hours. We'll be finding out the extent of the cut and what caused it today and will have a report tomorrow.

Sark's new Seneschal is due to be sworn in this morning. Jeremy La Trobe-Bateman will take the oath of office in Guernsey's Royal Court and we'll have a report and pictures in tomorrow's Press.
