Shaun Ryder makes 'emergency' appeal after losing beloved dog

Shaun Ryder has made an "emergency" appeal for help after losing his dog in the Peak District.

The Happy Mondays frontman said his beagle, Malcolm, had gone missing during a visit to the B-29 air crash site near Glossop, Derbyshire.

The 61-year-old, from Little Hulton, Salford, shared the plea for help on his Facebook page this afternoon (Sunday). The post was accompanied by a picture of himself and his beloved pet.

The crash site is littered with metal shrapnel from the Bleaklow Bomber disaster. The US Air Force aircraft plunged into the rocks at Higher Shelf Stones in November 1948, killing 13 people.

It's thought the plane - which was being used to capture footage of nuclear testing at Bikini Atoll at the time - crashed due to poor vision and thick cloud at the time. Debris remains at the site, which has been eerily preserved with wooden crosses and a memorial plaque for the victims.

Just a stone's throw from the site, hikers can also still view the graveyard of the C47 Skytrain Dakota which came down in July 1945 - metres from where a Lancaster KB993 had crashed a couple of months earlier - killing seven. The moorland plateau
