UK UK - Hazel Nairn, 71, in the water of the River Don, near to Monymusk, 18 Nov 2022

A group of volunteer divers from England have joined the search for Monymusk grandmother Hazel Nairn.

The 71-year-old was swept away in the River Don while walking her dog in November last year.

The body of Westie Ruaridh was discovered within weeks but Mrs Nairn has never been found.

Today, a team of volunteer divers from Lancashire made the journey up to Aberdeenshire to help the family with the ongoing search.

Beneath the Surface, a voluntary underwater sonar search and recovery dive team, have been using sonar technology in areas of the river where a person could become trapped.

They were assisted by those from Aberdeen Diving Services Ltd, Aberdeen Sub Aqua Club and Aberdeenshire Drone Services, as well as experienced kayakers who know the area well.

I pray that it’s her to give her family some closure. My thoughts go out to her family

These cases which go years without any answers really get to me I don’t know how families find the strength to carry on each day.
