This Christmas will be very different from last year's for Chris and Sharelle Henderson.
In September 2003, their son Mark was one of two Britons kidnapped by a guerrilla group, the ELN, while travelling in Columbia.
The story hit the headlines in a big way when his fellow Brit, Matthew Scott, managed to escape. Mark was eventually released and arrived home on Crhistmas eve. But not before the family had endured a terrifying period of wondering whether they would see Mark again.
Chris and Sharelle talked about how they coped, and their plans for this year's Christmas celebrations.
