THE father of missing Blackburn student Paul Wells has brought back a Christmas decoration from Kashmir to help churchgoers remember his son.

Bob Wells, of Bracken Close, Feniscowles, recently returned from a fact-finding visit to India where he continued his efforts to trace his son. The decoration has been placed on the Christmas tree at Immanuel Church, Feniscowles, and the vicar, the Rev John Cree says Paul is still very much in the thoughts and prayers of parishioners.

Paul, 26, has been missing since July 1995 when he was captured by Muslim separatists in the Indian state of Jammu Kashmir.
