81-year-old man left stranded in empty house after coronavirus scuppers family’s New Zealand emigration plans
An 81-year-old man who helped run his daughter’s Horsham Market stall has been left stranded at his empty house after the coronavirus scuppered his New Zealand emigration plans.
Charles Scanlan, 81, had shipped all of his belongings and was set to join his wife, Sheryn, and daughter, Rachel, to start his new life on March 19 when he was turned away from Heathrow Airport because the borders had just been closed to stop the spread of Covid-19.
The family – who were well-known for their business Blooming Good Nursery and attending the market every Saturday for a number of years – are now desperate to be reunited.
