Grandfather fulfills dream of flying in spitfire after heartache of wife moving to nursing home

ITV News Correspondent Sangita Lal has the heartwarming story of Malcolm's big flight in a Spitfire


As special birthday presents go this takes some beating.

To celebrate his grandfather Malcolm reaching 80-years-old, 12-year-old Harrison Gurney wanted to organise a flight on board a Spitfire.

He longed to see his grandfather smile again after his wife - Harrison's grandmother - had to go into a nursing home.

The story so touched the hearts of staff at Goodwood aerodrome, they offered to help.

And there was a surprise for Harrison too.
