Lancashire's the Radford family share nightmare start to holiday as they issue warning
Britain’s largest family, the Radfords from Lancashire, had the “absolute worst start” to their holiday yesterday.
The Radfords from Morecambe are well known as the largest family in the UK, with mum and dad Sue and Noel sharing 22 children and 14 grandchildren.
The family’s comings and goings are well documentated on their Instagram page, which has amassed an impressive 539k followers.
The Radford family account often shares photos and clips from their happy family gatherings but yesterday they shared a major hiccup they experienced whislt trying to jet off on holiday.
Resharing a post by their third eldest daughter Millie to their own story, the Radford family account wrote in overlay text “Absolute worst start to the holiday [crying emoji]”
In the post, 24-year-old Millie - who earlier this year got married to 22-year-old Harley Passmore, the father of two of her children- revealed she had been left stranded at an aiport with her two eldest children, Ophelia Jo and Chester Blue.
Sharing a screenshot of Flightradar, the mum of three wrote: “Guys let this be your reminder to double check your esta because mine Chester and Ophelia's had ran out we was rejected being allowed on our flight today to America, and Harley and Elodie was able to get onto the flight lucky we have re applied and they have all come back in time for us to fly tomorrow [fingers crossed] my dad has stayed to help me thank god because we've had to travel hoursss to another airport from Gatwick”.
A valid ESTA - full title Electronic System for Travel Authorization - is requried by all UK citizens who wish to travel to the US for 90 days or less, whether ofr tourism or business.
As an afterthought, Millie added: “Hope Harley and Elodie haven't been too much Hard work @theradfordfamily.”
In reply, the Radford family account shared another story of Sue smiling whilst holding her granddaugher Elodie inside an airport.
In overlay text, Sue wrote: “I'm fine mummy don't worry and I was such a girl on the flight”
The Radford’s seem to be making a trip to America a family tradition as this time last year they had also jetted off to Disneyland Florida.
