A disabled Sutton man is flying high after winning a Keighley News competition.

Graham Shaw won a flight in a helicopter after being nominated as his sister's Valentine.

Graham has been in a wheelchair since being involved in a fatal crash at Hawkcliffe Corner, Steeton, in 1989.

The former lorry driver suffered severe head and back injuries and was left paralysed from the waist down.

When the Keighley News asked people to nominate their loved ones for a pleasure flight with Pennine Helicopters, Graham's sister, Anita Shaw, immediately thought of Graham.

"I know he would love to go in a helicopter," she wrote. "One time someone took him up in a glider and he loved it.

"I know it's not exactly a Valentine in the sense of the word, but I love Graham a lot. I would be really proud to make him so happy by doing a small thing."

Graham and Anita can choose to fly from one of 14 sites across the North, including the Five Flags Hotel, at Cullingworth, and the Craven Heifer, in Skipton.
