Alex Batty spent his first night back in the UK in the more than six years since he disappeared on holiday in Spain with his mother and grandfather.

The 17-year-old did not return from a pre-arranged trip there when he was 11 and is said to have lived an “alternative” lifestyle abroad before deciding to return home.
