An 82-year-old man who died when he collapsed on an escalator and fell to his death at Gatwick Airport has been described as a proud Italian grandad who lived for his family.
Gerado Silano fractured his spinal cord on his way home back to Basingstoke, having travelled back to his native Italy with his wife Imra and son Paul, landing at the airport in West Sussex last month.
Mr Silano had three children and four grandchildren and was one of three disabled passengers due to be given assistance from the easyJet flight he was on.
