Sergeant Frank Parker, based at Castle Douglas, said: "We are concerned for Joyce's welfare.

"She has limited mobility issues due to problems with her knees so this may be noticeable as she would have to take regular rests when walking.

"Her family are extremely concerned, she has not been reported missing before and we are appealing for anyone who has seen Joyce to contact us."
