Family left wandering streets of freezing Paris after easyJet flight is grounded

It may be fabled as one of the most beautiful cities in the world - but a disabled mum and her family were left wandering the streets of Paris in sub-zero temperatures without food or money for three days after their easyJet flight home was cancelled.

Carol Vanbeck and her husband Ian, both aged 50, and their 17-year-old son Joel went to the city of lights for a week on December 5 and were due to return home on December 12.

But when weather conditions meant their flight from Charles de Gaulle airport back to their home in Edinburgh could not go ahead, the family claim they were "abandoned" by the low cost carrier with no food or drink after running out of cash.
