Jay Slater’s hometown of Oswaldtwistle has turned the streets blue with a sea of ribbons in support of the 19-year-old who remains missing in Tenerife.
Jay was last heard from on Monday morning when he called his friend Lucy Law to tell her he was going to walk back to their accommodation after missing a bus. He told her he was lost, thirsty and had only 1 per cent charge on his phone. The walk from Rural de Teno park, his last known location, to the south of the Spanish island, would take around 11 hours on foot.

Yesterday, hundreds of blue ribbons were attached to posts, gates and railings along Blackburn Road in a show of support for the family. A prayer service was also held at West End Methodist Church last night with wellwishers lighting candles, leaving notes of support and saying prayers for the missing 19-year-old.
