Tessa Capon has never given up hope of finding her dad, Andrew, who was aged 37 when he went missing on October 3, 1998.

"He went with three friends and that night they decided to go out in Skegness.

"The last port of call was the Streets complex night club (now the Storehouse in North Parade).

"After an altercation between my dad and one of his friends inside the club, the bouncers then threw my dad out of the club.

"CCTV footage then shows my dad push his mate outside the club and his friend stumble off the curb.
