Both girls are of slim build and around 5ft 2in tall.

Poppy has blonde/brown shoulder length hair and was wearing a long white coat and knee length riding boots when she was last seen.

Lily has brown hair. She was last seen wearing black trousers and black platform boots.

A missing person investigation is ongoing led by officers from the South West Area Command Safeguarding Unit.

The girls have strong links to the borough of Hillingdon and enquiries so far have established that they may be in the Northwood area.

It is believed that they have been in contact with friends as recently as this morning (Thursday, April 8).

Anyone who sees Poppy and Lily should call 999.
