A schoolboy who shares his name with rock wildman Axl Rose has been found safe and well after he went missing in Bridlington.

The ten-year-old namesake of the Guns 'n' Roses frontman sparked a search involving police when he failed to turn up at New Pasture Lane School, Bridlington, after leaving his home in Gypsy Road yesterday morning. Humberside Police said the four-foot tall youngster had been found in Field Road in the town later that day, after sightings were reported to them.
