A third body has been found at the Cheshire wood flour mill destroyed in a huge explosion last week.

Cheshire Police said they found the body, which has not been identified, at the Wood Treatment Limited plant in the village of Bosley after they removed three silos yesterday.

A spokesman said: "This has directly allowed the search and recovery operation to continue work at a section of the site indicated previously by search dogs. This has led to the discovery of a third body."

The families of the four people killed in the blast are expected to visit the site today and pay their respects.
