There's a growing  Atmosphere  today on our seafront  that there is something very wrong . 


 The  coast guard helicopter is hovering overhead  as its  scanning our southern coastline shores 


What  are they looking
 for ?
Who are they looking for?


As the day goes  on  lifeboats, police , beach patrol and 
 volunteers are desperately searching our  shores
 Dusk draws in  and  their torches go  scanning  beach after beach  after beach .  Lights Flickering through the coloured beach huts as they go 


 Night falls they are still searching,
 residents of Brighton and Hove are  praying   you'll be found.


The sea is lit up  by the Search  lights  continuously scanning  the  coastline  through the night.
 We're in our homes , we're watching and never giving up  hope  


 We go to bed and pray for good news in the morning   


 Sunday comes the sun  shines brightly as we look out to sea , you are on our mind  and we wait for news  
 and still the search continues.


 As time goes on the hope is slowly fading that you will found safe but we must never give up hope

This sea is often so beautiful , but today it appears to have been so cruel .


 It seems your world took a tragic path whilst  walking  with your dog 


  News comes in that  a man called Gareth  and  his dog called Connie are missing !!!   






This intense sunlight on the water today seems to be  telling us how you  both should  be remembered

 As the  tide changes we'll never forget how you  sacrificed yourself to the sea  for the love of your beloved dog .  


when the sunsets  over our shoreline you'll both have left your mark here today    


One man and his beloved  dog  

Gareth and Connie   

Rest in peace
