A choir-singing pensioner trapped in a hospital toilet was freed after singing the chorus to his favourite song, Handel's Hallelujah.

George Hudson started singing after the emergency chord failed to work despite three tugs.

The 80-year-old, who was at the Kent and Sussex Hospital in Tunbridge Wells for a hip replacement operation, was then rescued.

That poor guy. At 80 years old I hope he wasn't confused and that it WAS actually the emergency cord he was tugging on!

This incident sounds like a stall tactic but nonetheless it bowled me over because this pensioner really had a deep seated issue.
