Police are appealing for information about an 81-year-old woman who has been missing since Saturday.

They believe Anne Gregory left her home in Churchill Way, Faversham, sometime on Saturday morning.

She was last seen at 9.15am near the Co-op store in West Street, but failed to turn up for a 1pm appointment at her hairdressers in Faversham.

There have been no further sightings of her and police are increasingly concerned for her welfare, especially as she missed her weekly church service on Sunday which is out of character.

She is 5ft 3ins, with a fair complexion and short grey bushy hair. She is believed to be wearing a white blouse, dark blue jeans, a knee-length silver grey coat and cream slip-on shoes.

She also wears a gold crucifix and oval gold earrings and carries a Burberry pattern purse and a red and blue handbag.

Sgt Nick Sparkes said: “Anne has now been missing for two days and has not made any contact with her close network of family and friends.

“We would like to hear from anyone who may have seen her since Saturday morning or may know where she is now.”
