James Luton recently missed out on celebrating his 50th birthday in Portugal after Jet2 staff found he had an invalid passport issued over 10 years ago, he told BBC News in May. Ms Jenkins said: “We were escorted out through border security because technically we had no passports suddenly.

“We accept that our passports are three days outside the 10-year rule,” Ms Jenkins said.
