Disability fight goes to Court of Appeal

A Scots family turned away from an English holiday park picnic area are taking their case for damages to the Court of Appeal in London.

Paul Edwards, 48, and wife Belinda, 50, were on holiday at Flamingo Land, in Malton, North Yorkshire, in July 2010 when a family meal turned into a row about disability rights.

Mr Edwards is registered blind, the couple's daughter, Isla, 7, has cystic fibrosis and their other daughter, Melissa, 13, has Down's syndrome and autism.
