A man in his 60s is missing after a rowing boat capsized in the River Thames, police have said.
The small boat was carrying six people on a stretch of the Thames in Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey.
Surrey Police’s Elmbridge Beat said they were called to Sunbury Lock at around 8.50am on Friday to reports of a small boat capsizing.
The force is currently at the scene along with South East Coast Ambulance Service (SECAMB) and Surrey Fire and Rescue.
A police spokesperson said shortly before 4pm that “at this time, inquiries to establish the full circumstances of what occurred remain ongoing”.
“Sadly, we believe a man in his 60s may still be in the river,” they added. “His relatives have been informed and are being kept updated.”
A SECAMB spokesperson said earlier three of the five rescued from the river were taken to hospital for further checks.

Newcastle United have won their first domestic trophy in 70 years after beating Liverpool 2-1 in the Carabao Cup.
Tens of thousands of Magpies fans flooded the capital to watch their team end their drought against last year’s winners at Wembley.
TV presenters Declan Donnelly and Ant McPartlin were among fans rejoicing in the stands, while celebrations erupted across Newcastle.
The club lifted the European Inter-City Fairs Cup in 1969 but haven’t won a domestic trophy since their 1955 FA Cup victory.

Liverpool, who have won 38 major trophies since the Black and Whites last got their hands on any silverware, went into the match as heavy favourites.
The last time the teams met, in the league last month, Liverpool eased to a 2-0 win – and they sit comfortably top of the Premier League table, seemingly headed for the title.
But Newcastle had the best of the first half and got their reward as local hero Dan Burn headed home from a corner just before half time, sending supporters into dreamland.
They found the back of the net again early in the second half, but the celebrations were cut short as the goal was disallowed for offside.

Minutes later, Alexander Isak struck and this time it did count, doubling Newcastle’s lead and sending the Geordie faithful in the crowd wild once more.
Liverpool gave themselves a lifeline in stoppage time with a goal from Federico Chiesa – after a tense VAR check – but Newcastle held on to secure the win.

‘For them it’s like the World Cup’
Eddie Howe, who became the first English manager to win a domestic trophy since Harry Redknapp in 2008 in front of a crowd of 88,513, told Sky Sports he was “very emotional”.
“We just knew what was at stake today for all the people here, all the people back in Newcastle and we just wanted to do them proud,” he said.
“We were desperate to try and win the trophy after all the years of hurt. I’m so pleased not just with the result, but with the performance. I thought we deserved the win today.”
Bruno Guimaraes described his side’s win as “one of the best days” of his life, telling Sky Sports: “It’s a lot for these fans, they deserve everything.”
“For them this is like the World Cup. People have not seen Newcastle as champions. We are here to make history and I’m very happy. We deserve this, this is unbelievable.”
Liverpool’s League Cup loss comes just days after the Premier League leaders were knocked out of the Champions League by Paris St Germain (PSG) on penalties.
Prince Harry’s immigration files must be made public by this Tuesday, a US court has ruled.
Judge Carl Nichols ordered documents relating to the Duke of Sussex‘s US visa application to be released as part of an ongoing Freedom of Information (FOI) request.
The FOI request was brought by conservative US think-tank the Heritage Foundation, which alleges the duke may have concealed past drug use and that should have disqualified him from obtaining a US visa.
Judge Nichols ordered the US Department of Homeland Security to release a redacted version of the documents no later than Tuesday, according to court filings dated 15 March.
However, in September 2024, the same judge previously said that the public did not have a strong interest in the disclosure of Harry’s immigration records.
But the Heritage Foundation wanted the judgment changed.
It questioned why Harry was allowed into the US in 2020 after the royal referenced taking cocaine, marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms in his book Spare.

In his memoir, Harry said cocaine “didn’t do anything for me”, adding: “Marijuana is different, that actually really did help me.”
The foundation also said that answers about his prior drug use in his visa application could raise questions over the US government’s integrity.
Despite refusing the previous FOI request, lawyers for the Department of Homeland Security agreed in February to release redacted versions of the forms.
“Specifically, Defendant would propose redacting all information in these items that would reveal information that the Court has determined Defendant can withhold,” department lawyer John Bardo wrote in a court filing.
In February, President Donald Trump ruled out deporting Harry from the US, telling The New York Post: “I’ll leave him alone.”
He added: “He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.”
Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, has been a vocal critic of Mr Trump and called him “divisive” and a “misogynist”.
Mr Trump, in a GB News interview with Nigel Farage in March last year, also said Harry should not receive preferential treatment.
He said: “No. We’ll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied they’ll have to take appropriate action.”
The royal moved to the US in 2020, following a brief spell in Canada, with his wife Meghan, after the couple’s split from the rest of the Royal Family. They have lived in California ever since.
