A Leeds girl who in minutes transforms her appearance from a schoolgirl to a sophisticated woman twice her age has been found safe and well.
Relatives were left baffled after 13-year-old Lydia Stainton-Short disappeared.

She entered a Leeds pub the day she vanished from Allerton Grange High School, Roundhay, and leaving 14 minutes later unrecogniseable as the same teenager.

At 12.45pm on Monday June 8 Lydia was seen entering the Streets of Leeds on Sutherland Road, Roundhay, dressed in school uniform skirt and untucked white shirt over black tights and pink cropped jacket-style top.

At 12.59pm after a visit to the ladies toilets, Lydia reappeared wearing black, patterned tights, dark shorts, a black blazer type jacket, high heeled dark shoes, a distinctive red beret and the look of a woman in her mid 20s.

She has now been found alive and well.
