Tributes paid to restaurateur Nick Priestland

Tributes have been paid to restaurateur Nick Priestland who was found dead after going missing from his home on Monday.

Priestland had run the Cors restaurant with rooms in Laugharne, Wales, since 1992.

Hollywood actor Michael Sheen is among those to pay tribute describing the chef and artist as "an absolute one off".

In a statement police said: "Dyfed-Powys Police conducted a search for a 62-year-old man reported as missing from his home in Laugharne on the evening of Monday, January 22.

"Sadly, he was found deceased shortly after. Next of kin have been informed, and our thoughts are with his family.

"The death is not being treated as suspicious."
