Anne Hughes, 73, was left dangling outside a village shop in Tonteg when her coat became caught as shopkeeper Amir Akram opened the shutters.

The hilarious video later went viral which Ms Hughes always laughed along with and was pleased it brought people joy.

She had been standing outside the store with her shopping trolley, waiting for it to open, when her winter coat became entangled.
