Hunt goes on for father as missing twin boys return safely to Britain
Six-year-old twins Liam and Ciaran Peasley were met by detectives from Humberside Police as they got off a ferry in Harwich at 7.20am.
The woman, aged 60, is understood to be a friend of the boys' father, Andrew Wall, 40, who is still on the Continent.

Instead of returning home as planned, Mr Wall took the boys on a Eurostar train to Brussels, in Belgium, prompting an international police search.
Det Supt Dena Fleming said: "We are very pleased that the two boys have been found safe and well and are looking to getting the boys reunited with their mum as soon as possible.
"We are however still very keen to locate Mr Wall and are continuing to appeal for the public's help by them reporting any sightings of this very distinctive man."
