Liverpool born James Bennion has been missing since the early hours of Sunday morning, and his family and friends are becoming increasingly worried for his safety.

He was last seen wearing a navy blue t-shirt with a picture of a record and the word ‘record’ in grey writing printed on the front of it and dark jeans.”
