The bodies of two British climbers who went missing on Thursday have been found on the Matterhorn, Italian rescue workers have said.

They said both bodies were found in a ravine at an altitude of 4,000m.

A search and rescue effort began late on Thursday, but emergency services were hampered by bad weather on Friday.

It is believed that the pair, who have not been named, were surprised by unseasonably cold weather, and reports suggest one was wearing light clothing.
