A holidaymaker at Birmingham Airport almost missed her flight to Greece after she was locked inside a Boots in the departure lounge.
The woman, believed to be Dutch, had been doing some last-minute shopping in the shop on Saturday at around 9.30pm, when the store closed its doors for business.
Staff went home, closing the shop and drawing down the shutters with the woman still inside.
