Grahame Jobes from Sunderland was on the first flight to return Brits after Saturday’s earthquake.

His wife Holly was there to meet him, she’s seven-months pregnant and said: “I've been worried sick - he described running down the streets and buildings falling on people around him.

“He's got three children at home and another one on the way and we were just desperate to get him home.”

Mr Jobes said: "It was worse for her sitting at home worrying than it was for me

"We've been well looked after and we can't fault the aid effort and hospitality of the Nepalese people.

"But I'm looking forward to some family time now."

He was one of 120 including young children flown back to the UK.
