Woman left in car as couple take ferry to France

For one forgetful couple it was the mother of all mistakes.
On a cross-Channel day trip to France they suddenly realised they'd accidently left behind a loved one.
In a frantic call to Port of Dover police, the pair told officers they'd forgotten their elderly mum.
The pensioner was still in their car, parked up in a multi-storey - all alone.

They were ferry lucky...
