Earlier this afternoon, Spanish authorities confirmed a body - Jayslater update

 Earlier this afternoon, Spanish authorities confirmed a body had been found in the search for missing British teenager Jay Slater.

The 19-year-old was reported missing after attending a music festival at Papagayo nightclub in the southern resort of Playa de las Americas.

He was last heard from on 17 June after setting off to walk from a northern area of the island back to his holiday accommodation in the south - a journey of about 11 hours.

He called his friend Lucy Law, telling her he had missed a bus, his phone battery was on 1%, and he had cut his leg on a cactus.

Here's what has happened so far today: 

Spanish police said initial investigations suggest the apprentice bricklayer could have "suffered an accident or fall" in an "inaccessible area" in the village of Masca;

Missing persons' organisation LBT Global released a statement saying possessions and clothes belonging to Mr Slater were found with the body;

It also said the body was found close to the site of the last location of Mr Slater's phone; 

Lancashire Police released a statement, saying "evidence strongly suggests" the remains are those of Mr Slater;

Formal identification has not yet taken place. A post-mortem will be carried out.
