British boy feared dead after going missing off French coast
The family of a boy who has gone missing off the French coast are being treated for shock.
The boy, aged 13, was with his two younger brothers in the sea off a beach in Boulogne-sur-Mer on Monday.
It is believed he got into difficulty and was swept out to sea in a channel not meant for swimming.
A search was launched at about 6pm BST on Monday and continued late into the night. It resumed on Tuesday.
