"He's absolutely fine he was just scared of going back to my gran I think! He knows he's in trouble!!

"We are absolutely elated. To get that phone call that they have found him safe and well will never ever be compared. And then to be able to reunited him grandma. We can all sleep tonight knowing he's home safe where he belongs."

Just after 2.30pm today (Friday September 22), Greater Manchester Police also confirmed the news writing: "We are pleased to be able to share with you that we have found missing Ronnie safe and well, following a phenomenal effort from members of the public and police officers."
