Lindsay Sandiford, 69, was locked up in Bali’s notorious Kerobokan jail after she was sentenced to the death by firing squad for smuggling cocaine into Indonesia, in 2012.

The Brit, then 56, claimed she was forced by an international drug syndicate that threatened her family if she refused.

The frail gran faced over a decade in brutal conditions at the jail before a deal was struck between Keir Starmer and the Indonesian authorities for her release, on humanitarian grounds.

The notorious jail released images of the nan’s final hours in the prison, before she boarded a £600 UK government paid flight back home, arriving at Heathrow on Friday, reports The Mirror.

Sandiford was seen hugging pastor Christine Buckingham, who supported her behind bars, in a ‘warm embrace.
