An 83-year-old woman has had a surprise reunion with her best friend, thanks to her helicopter pilot son.
On hearing how much his mother missed her friend, Steve Perry decided to fly Mrs Simon back to Leicestershire. Mr Perry flew to pick up Mrs Simon, 80, from her home in Winscombe, Somerset, and bring her 160 miles to his home in Ulverscroft, Leicestershire. Recalling how they met as neighbours in Loughborough, Leicestershire, she said: "We used to have a fabulous time. There were five couples on the street. The men would play squash and us ladies would sit and chat, and then we'd order a takeaway."
