An 18-year-old has died in the River Wye during a Duke of Edinburgh (DoE) Award expedition.

Police confirmed his body was recovered after a search following reports that a “male had entered the water and could not be located” at Glasbury, Powys, on Tuesday at 18:30 BST.

The DofE said: “Our thoughts are with the young person’s family, together with all those who were taking part.

“We will do everything we can to support them at this difficult time.”

Dyfed-Powys Police said mountain rescue volunteers, firefighters and National Police Air Service were involved in the search.
