The Search for a " highly respected and much loved" firefighter, missing while on a charity swim across the English Channel has been called off.

Based at Wednesbury fire station, Mr Hughes had posted on Social Media Two Weeks ago that the swim had been delayed because of bad weather.
'Heartbroken', The Fire service said: " We Are heartbroken to confirm that one of our crew managers, Iain Hughes, is missing after his inspiring attempt to swim the English Channel for charity. "
French authorities have confirmed The Search has now ended, it said, adding: " In spite of search efforts involving French and Belgian military helicopters, plus navy and Police Patrol boats, Iain's whereabouts remain unknown. "
Mr Hughes, a married father-of-two who has been with The Fire service since the Age Of 19, currently works in its technical rescue unit.

The Channel Crossing is 21 miles (34km) and can take swimmers anywhere between seven and 27 Hours to complete.
Mr Hughes has been aiming to raise £21,000 for The British Heart Foundation, Midlands Air Ambulance and Fire Fighters ' Charity.
The Gris-Nez operational surveillance and rescue centre (CROSS) was informed a swimmer had disappeared on Tuesday, off the Cap Gris-Nez.
The Channel Swimming and Piloting Federation (CS& PF), which monitors swimmers in the channel, announced with " deep regret" Mr Hughes could not be found after a sea search.
