North Wales Police tweeted that the body was found north of the Welsh coastal town this morning.

Earlier this week an extensive search was carried out by HM Coastguard for two teenage boys, believed to be from the Birmingham area.

The operation began on Sunday in a bid to locate the boys, aged 14 and 15, after the alarm was raised at around 1.40pm. The search was scaled back on Monday and called off on Tuesday.

The police say identification is yet to take place and that no more information is available at this time.
