Divers used a black bag to remove the body from the river.
The divers removed the object from the water next to the orange buoy which had been positioned in the river on Friday.
Officers have been searching for Lord since last Friday and had said there was a "high probability" that she went into the water.

Lord's belongings, including her clothing, two rings, her mobile phone and glasses, were found scattered in Wensum Park last Friday evening.
Meanwhile, her coat was discovered in the River Wensum, which runs through the park.
One eyewitness yesterday described how Lord "seemed a bit off" shortly before her disappearance.
Norwich local Rosie Richards has said she saw the 55-year-old just in Wensum Park shortly before she went missing.
"To me she seemed quite calm," she explained.
"She was sort of putting her coat down on the floor and sort of performing a yoga pose.
"It just seemed a bit off at this time because obviously it was starting to get dark."
