The father of Noah Woods has said the three-year-old "will be loved forever" and no words can describe the pain of the family's loss.

Noah disappeared from a playground in Brantham, Suffolk, at about 15:00 BST on Tuesday after becoming separated from a relative.

At least 1,300 people helped to try to find him in the following 24 hours, before a child's body was discovered on Wednesday afternoon at a nearby pond. Earlier, police said his body had been formally identified.

"Noah was the sweetest and most innocent little boy, with nothing but love to give, and we are going to miss him so very much," said father Rhys Woods.
