Urgent hunt for three children missing after day out at Thorpe Park - with trio 'spotted in florist'

'They did not seem in any rush or panic. The elder girl did all the talking and they left after a short time and turned right out of the shop towards the train station.'

Jess Gibelli, 26, who was working in the store added: 'The older girl asked for directions to Abbots Way and then the train station.

'They seemed quite happy, but as they asked for directions they were probably not from round here.'

Despite Surrey Police announcing they were conducting a major search of the children they had not spoken to Sam or collected the CCTV.

CCTV footage from the shop appears to show the older girl, wearing a white tank top, grey leggings and black sliders, as she walks in, phone in hand. She has black-rimmed glasses and wears her hear in a head band.

She is followed by the second, younger girl, wearing a while, long sleeved t-shirt and her blonde hair in a ponytail.

Last of all comes the young boy, wearing a green, white and blue striped long-sleeve top. As the older girl speaks with the shop worker, he and the younger girl look around the shop.

They all leave together at the end of the clip, as they can be heard talking to each other as they go out of the shop door.

Surrey Police have revealed few details about the missing children or who reported them missing.
