Villagers concerned over the disappearance of a popular pensioner are to hold a candlelit vigil for him on Sunday.
Seventy-seven year old Trevor Elias was reported missing from his home in Abertridwr on Saturday April 7.
Police have been searching in and around the village throughout the week for Mr Elias, who is known for his sense of humour and love of horse racing.
He is described as being approximately 6ft tall, very thin build, and has brown short hair. He wears glasses.
Hundreds are expected to attend the candlelit vigil on Sunday April 15 at Abertridwr Square from 8pm.
For more information about the tribute, a Facebook event has been set up.
The search for the pensioner continued yesterday with members of the Brecon Mountain Rescue team searching the surrounding mountains.
