A granddad who has been separated from his family for almost four years has spent the last six months battling to get a new passport.
Chris Nathanael applied for a new passport in January this year so he can visit his family for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic. The 62-year-old wants to travel to see his son Evro, 35, and his seven-year-old grandson George, who now live in Cyprus.
Chris, who lives in Seaton Delaval, North Tyneside, lost his old passport during a separation from his former partner. He said he applied for a new one at the start of the year via a paper application form.
