The brother of British backpacker Grace Millane has posted an emotional tribute to his sister after police revealed they had found a body.
Declan Millane uploaded pictures of the two of them with the words to You Are My Sunshine.
Police in New Zealand revealed on Sunday they had found a body which they believe to be Grace in woodland on the outskirts of Auckland.
Officers had earlier identified a countryside road on the outskirts of Auckland as a "location of interest".
Scenic Drive is roughly 15 miles from the CityLife hotel where Ms Millane was last seen on 1 December.
