THE family of a missing Easter Ross man have thanked the community that has got them through "two of the longest and hardest weeks of our lives".

Stressing that the search for Shaun Banner has not concluded, they said they felt it important to take time to thank everyone who had contributed to a massive undertaking, adding: "We appreciate you all more than you’ll ever know."

The post shared with those who have been involved in the search since Shaun (34) was reported missing on Saturday, April 23, said: "Shaun has now been missing for two weeks. two of the longest and hardest weeks of our lives. In the last two weeks people in our lives have never shone so bright.

"Friends, families, colleagues, emergency services, community members, businesses and more have blown us away. Turned up in force to search for Shaun, dropped in with food, offered donations towards our search and opened their arms up for hugs.

"In the last two weeks we have had hundreds of people out on foot searching fields, woodlands, outhouses and more, hundreds of miles of beach, coastlines and shorelines searched, multiple planes, drones, helicopters, quads, dogs, boats and more out.

"I guess what we want to say is THANK YOU.

"Thank you to each and every single person for their generosity, kindness and support. You’ve lifted us up, motivated and kept us focused while coordinating our searches.

"Thank you to The Place for providing us with a base to conduct our searches and keeping us fed and watered.

"Thank you to the Emergency Community Rescue Team for helping us access resources and going over and above in your support.

"Thank you to Police Scotland for all your efforts so far searching for Shaun.

"Thank you ALL."

It goes on to state: "Our searches for Shaun HAVE NOT concluded but we don’t want your efforts to go unnoticed. Please continue to search shorelines, beaches and coasts and let us know if you see anything or contact the police using 101.

Shaun Banner.
Shaun Banner.

"We appreciate you all more than you’ll ever know. Thank you, Hannella (Shaun’s Mum), Alan, Bexy, Tia & Jack."

It asks people to continue to share information.
