A family on their way home from Tenerife were left "stranded" 250 miles from home, when their plane detoured from Gatwick to Manchester.

Dan was due to arrive at the Sussex airport shortly before midnight, but after two failed attempts to land in the stormy weather, the pilot detoured to Birmingham.

Dan, 34, said: "Birmingham was even worse. The plane was being blown all over the place like a fairground ride.

"We then continued to Manchester where we were just able to land with more bumps.

"A three-and-a-half hour plane trip turned into a scary and long 13 hour ordeal door to door."

The family said they were "all left stranded" and had to wait on the tarmac until 04:45 GMT, before they were able to take a taxi home at a cost of £450.

A spokesman for British Airways said Dan and other passengers who had to find their own way home, would be reimbursed for any reasonable travel arrangements, if they used the claim form provided by airline staff.

As we just reported, a major incident has been declared by Herefordshire council as the county continues to be hit by significant and widespread flooding.

Georgina Stafford, who lives in the village of Much Birch with husband Richard, sent in this photo of their waterlogged garden.

She told BBC News: "We are hoping it won't get any closer to the house.

"We're far enough away from the rivers that the only water we're dealing with is what is falling directly.

"It's pretty miserable here...A lot of the roads are out of action."

"I'm hopeful it will dry out soon."
