Sir Nicholas Winton released from Prague hospital

Sir Nicholas Winton returned to the UK from Prague on Thursday after being admitted to hospital during a visit to the Czech capital. The Czech army laid on a special plane to take him to England. Sir Nicholas, who is 98, saved the lives of over 650 mostly Jewish children on the eve of World War II. He came to Prague last week for a conference of Vaclav Havel's Forum 2000; he was taken ill with a fever and acute bronchitis at the weekend.
