A gran was left crying at the airport after Ryanair refused her boarding - forcing her family to leave her at the gate.
Michele Hawken, from Cornwall, was looking forward to her family holiday to Portugal with two other adults and two children joining her for the trip.
However she was stopped from boarding despite still having three months left before her passport ran out of date. Airline staff told her it had expired because it had been issues ten years ago on May 15, 2012.
