A DYING man launched a search in East Lancashire for his long lost brother, whose last known address was in Clitheroe.

Phillip James Glynn, from Australia, was diagnosed with lung cancer and decided his last wish would be to get in touch with his brother William, who he last saw when he emigrated in 1947.

A message was faxed to Lancashire Police headquarters to see if they could help.
