'We had to threaten to get the emergency services to get some water for the pupils'

It's been a weekend of chaos at the Port of Dover as coach passengers faced long delays. Some people had reported waiting 17 hours at Dover, with thousands of people waiting to cross the channel for a Easter getaway. Officials blamed delays on slow border processing and more coaches than had been expected. Students from Rawlins Academy in Quorn in Leicestershire were among those stuck on the Kent coast. They were planning a skiing trip to Northern Italy, before making the decision to turn around on Sunday morning. Vice Principal Cathy Robinson explains to Ady Dayman why they felt they had to make that difficult decision.
