The airline said all but nine of the group from the Archdiocese of St Andrews & Edinburgh, would be back in Scotland today.

A total of 83 members of the group, who had been on a religious trip to the holy site of Fatima, say they were left abandoned after an initial delay turned into a cancellation on Thursday.

And among the anxiety, one of the pensioners took ill and had to be taken to hospital.
