The daughter a woman who went missing in the Conwy Valley has paid an emotional tribute to her after a body was found.
Mountain rescue volunteers spent days searching for Ausra Plungiene, 56, from Prestatyn, who disappeared while on a walk with her dog after she failed to return home.
Hours after learning a body had been found in the search, her daughter said she will "miss her so much".
In a statement released on Facebook, Ms Plungiene's daughter, Toma Plungaite Lamb, said her "heart was broken".
Ms Plungiene and her black dog, Eyora, failed to return to their home in Prestatyn on Tuesday.

Formal identification is yet to take place.
A dog was found alive at the location.
"I miss you mommy so much"
The full tribute reads: "One more day, one more time, one more sunset…Maybe I'll be satisfied…But then again…I know what it would do…!!! Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you…!!!
"I miss you mommy so much!!!
"My heart is broken without you."
