An important member of the government has said that grandparents should be taken on family holidays.

Mims Davies - whose job it is to deal with the issue of people feeling lonely - said that families had a duty to stop older members of their family from feeling left out.

It is quite traditional in Mediterranean countries for grandparents to be more involved in family life like this.

Ms Davies told the Sunday Telegraph that families in the UK could learn from this.
