Ehssan, 79, was last seen at 2.30pm on Thursday, June 21 on Barnhill Road in Wembley.

Her son said: “Please can you help me find my missing mum.

“She has been without her medication for eight days now and she has heart problems as well as dementia.

“If you have any information please call the police.”

Ehssan, who is Egyptian, cannot speak English and both the police and Ehssan’s family are increasingly worried about her health. This morning they urged anyone with information on her whereabouts to call 999 or Brent’s Missing Persons Unit on 101 and quote reference 3713/22Jun.
