The search has resumed for a teenager in Devon who went missing after going out to take photographs of stormy seas.

Harry Martin, 18, from Membland, Newton Ferrers, left his home at about noon on Thursday and was last seen walking towards a coastal path near his home.

He was reported missing on Friday, sparking an extensive search for him.

Police, coastguards, fire crews, local people and the Dartmoor Search and Rescue Group are involved in the resumed operation.

The teenager, who police said was a photography student, was last seen by his father leaving his home.

Police, the Plymouth lifeboat, coastguard teams and police and Royal Navy helicopters were involved in the initial stage of the operation to locate him. It was stood down after dusk on Friday.

Devon and Cornwall Police said they were "extremely concerned" as his disappearance was "out of character".

Elsewhere in Devon, seven flood warnings from the Environment Agency were still in place across the county on Saturday morning.

The warnings include the north and south Devon coasts, as well as tidal rivers such as the Torridge.

The Environment Agency said it was concerned about the morning high tide and warned people to be careful of large waves.

Devon and Cornwall Police said it was most concerned about the north Devon coast, particularly the Lynton and Lynmouth areas, where sea walls had been breached.

The Met Office has put out a yellow warning for more heavy rain on Saturday and Sunday, warning up to 30mm could fall in some places.

The Met Office said the recent spate of storms was the worst in the past 20 years and had been caused by a "really powerful" jet stream pushing a series of Atlantic depressions towards the UK.

On Friday, more than 35 residential and commercial properties were flooded around the county, with the worst affected areas being Lynmouth, Bideford, Bishops Tawton, Dartmouth and Salcombe.
