Romari Owuye was last seen by a friend at Portsmouth Harbour train station on Friday, where he got on another train with a friend. Its destination is not known, but Sussex Police have said Romari has connections with the Walthamstow area and may be headed for the capital.
Officers have expressed concern for the schoolboy's welfare. Romari is black and looks older than 12, 5' 8", slim with short Afro hair. He was wearing a North Face hooded top, black trousers, black Adidas trainers and a green and black camouflage bag when he disappeared.

The annual flower and produce show produced a fantastic array of entries on Saturday 14th July. The committee were concerned that the recent beautiful, but dry and hot weather was going to make it harder for our supporters to put on a great display of flowers, vegetables and fruit, but as usual they delighted us with a display of roses, sweet peas and other blooms. Although not as many as usual, they were as lovely to look at as ever and gave the judges a challenge to select the best in show. John Goulding with his agapanthus was a worthy winner of the best flower exhibit. To add to this we had a great range of entrants for the floral art and the best exhibit in this category was awarded to Brenda Wall for her foliage arrangement which was stunning.
Overall we had fine displays of vegetables, fruit, pot plants and hanging baskets, as well as a huge range of entries for our art classes. The longest runner bean class was a close competition although the length was limited by the recent hot weather we still had a worthy winner from Louis Powell. Our best newcomer - Jane Zalman - wowed the show with her fine range of vegetable exhibits and won best exhibit in show with a marvellous white squash. The children's classes this year produced some wonderful decorated pine cones, creatures from sea shells and mini scarecrows as well as paper spinners, decorated finger puppets and the world cup in a seed tray. India Craddock in her final year as a junior was a worthy winner of the West Children's Cup.
Visitor numbers were up on last year, it was lovely to see familiar and new faces enjoying the show in the barn and having tea and scones in the garden sheltering from the sun under the apple tree, visiting our craft and plant stalls and admiring the delightful grounds of Pigeon House thanks to our generous hosts for the day Mr and Mrs Blake. The WI ladies did a fantastic job behind the scenes, preparing the scones dealing with the washing up, they also sold all of their cakes on their cake stall, and their proceeds make a great contribution to the show takings. Our thanks go to all the helpers involved in making the event such a success for the village.
The committee will meet soon to decide how they will allocate donations from our profits this year to support good causes in the village. In previous years we have made donations to toddler groups, scouts, cubs, brownies & guides, Peggys Walk, Angmering in Bloom and Ferring Country Centre along with the Chestnut Tree Hospice fund. The date and schedule for next years show will be available next March and we would like to encourage more villagers to enter as it's always fun and the sense of good hearted competition is always a thrill! Visit our website at www.angmeringflowershow.co.uk for more details and pictures from this years show.
