Monarch airline ceased trading on Monday morning, leaving an estimated 100,000 British tourists stranded abroad and its 2,100 employees out of a job.

The 300,000 bookings made with Monarch have all been cancelled.

Many have written of how they were turned away from airports as they tried to get home from their travels.

Others have said they are worried they will miss milestone events such as weddings because they are unable to take their flight.
