Along the main road through St Michael's on Wyre in Lancashire, local people have lined the street holding huge placards with Nicola Bulley's face.
Above it in ominous red text is the word 'MISSING'.
It's difficult to imagine how different this same road would have seemed when Nicola herself walked down it just a week ago.
Seven days after she disappeared without a trace, the Mirror followed the footsteps Nicola, 45, took last Friday morning.
She had dropped her children at school in the car and left it parked up before setting off to walk her dog Willow, along a stretch of the River Wyre.

Today the skies are grey and a biting wind rips through the air.
At 8.43am Nicola, a mortgage advisor, was seen walking on the towpath by the river after dropping her daughters at school.

At 8.53am she sent an email to her boss.
At 9.01am she logged into a Teams call and was spotted again by a fellow dog walker in the neighbouring field at around 9.10am.

By 9.30am the Teams call had ended but Nicola remained logged into the meeting.
Just five minutes later her dog was found in an agitated state, free from its lead, and Nicola's phone was found on a bench close to the river bank.

But her family are desperate for answers to understand where this "doting mum" who "lived for her children" went in such a short space of time.
On the day of Nicola's disappearance, locals say that the water was flowing very gently over a nearby weir.

Police say they have searched a large stretch of the river, leaving St Michael's.
Friends of Nicola have been organising independent walks along the river out to Knott End on Sea where it meets the coast.

At the scene this morning uniformed officers have continued to scour the fields where Nicola walked before she disappeared.
As the search enters a new week, it is clear that family, friends and the community here will never stop looking for Nicola.
