The Lucie Blackman Trust, a charity which has supported Mr Colgan’s family during his disappearance, confirmed his body had been found in Hamburg’s River Elbe.

He is understood to have left Hamborger Veermaster bar a few minutes before the rest of the stag party in the early hours of 10 February.

His father and brother Eamonn remained in the city to help with the search.
Matthew Searle, chief executive of The Lucie Blackman Trust, said: “The search for Liam has been joined by thousands of people, both German and British, and we would like to thank all of them for their support.
“Our thoughts are of course with Liam’s family and friends today.”
