A dumbfounded Burnham family are seeking answers after being mysteriously banned from the USA.

Their trip of a lifetime was in tatters when, with no explanation, American security staff stopped Martin Saunders and eight-year-old son Drew from boarding the plane.

The family say they had all the relevant documentation to travel and Mr Saunders has no criminal record.

Mr Saunders intends to contact Maldon MP John Whittingdale in a battle for an explanation.
