Little girl's birthday trip to Disneyland on the line as grandad waits in queue 'all day'

A man waited in a queue "all day" to get his granddaughter's passport so he can take her to Disneyland for her birthday.

Simon Cross, 62, is from Coventry but ended up at Liverpool's passport office earlier this week after being sent around the country in a hectic bid to get his granddaughter a passport in time for their trip to Disneyland Paris. The grandad arrived in Liverpool on Tuesday, where he waited "all day" before being told to drive over 100 miles back home and come back on Thursday.
