Two bodies have been found by police searching for a father and his 12-year-old son who went missing while hillwalking in the Scottish Highlands.

Tom Parry, 49, and his son Richie were due to return to their home in Cheshire on Wednesday after visiting Glen Nevis and Glencoe.

But they did not return and a major search operation was launched.
