Gay Briton Ray Cole 'overwhelmed' at release from Morocco

A British man jailed for "homosexual acts" in Morocco says he is "overwhelmed" to be released.

Ray Cole, 69, from Kent, was sentenced to four months in prison with his Moroccan partner after homosexual images were found on his phone.

Arriving back at Gatwick airport, he told reporters that he did not know the status of his partner but that he would "do anything he can" to ensure his release.

Thinking he was being moved to another prison,he suddenly realised he was about to become a free man.

Hours later he was back home with his loved ones.
