Teenager Lily Nichol landed back in Britain on a medical plane, three weeks after a freak accident which left her needing surgery on her broken back and jaw.

Lily Nichol was seriously injured when she was hit by a paraglider as she ate a pizza in a restaurant on the last day of her holiday in Turkey.

Eisse Velvthuys told ITV News he watched in horror as a glider crashed into Lily Nichol, 15, who was eating in a restaurant on the last day of their holiday.
