A body has been found during the search for a man who disappeared from a North Sea oil rig.

A major search was launched after a man was reported missing from the Shell-operated Brent Delta platform, 120 miles north east of Shetland.

Three helicopters were involved in the search, with cover being provided by a Nimrod from RAF Kinloss. A boat co-ordinated surface operations.
