A 'popular', much-loved grandad-of-seven is stranded in Turkey and relying on a ventilator to stay alive.
John Noble, 73, from Wythenshawe, had travelled to a rented apartment in Marmaris at the end of February to enjoy a month-long break with wife, Lilian. On Wednesday morning (March 23), three weeks into their trip, the former Manchester Council worker was rushed to hospital after appearing confused and screaming "my head is burning".
Hailed as a 'pillar of the community', John's family called him a 'popular' man, known across Manchester for his work managing grounds and parks in the region for more than five decades. His family are now desperate for him to come home.
