Summary
Nick Clegg took a day off from campaigning after being reunited with his sons who had been stuck in Spain as a result of the volcanic ash cloud. The Lib Dem leader's three boys, aged one to eight, had been unable to return from their Easter break as planned on Saturday because flights were grounded. They had been staying with the family of Mr Clegg's wife, Miriam Gonzalez Durantez, in Olmedo. Antonio, eight, Alberto, five, and one-year-old Miguel, travelled back to London by Eurostar train. Their planned flight had been among thousands across Europe grounded because of the ash pumped out by Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull volcano. As he returned from a trip to the shops with his wife Clegg told the waiting reporters that it was absolutely wonderful to have his sons back at home.
