A couple fined £2,000 for taking their kids on holiday during term time still saved £3.2k on cost of the trip - and say they have "no regrets".

Rebekah Richardson, 38, and Dale Wood, 46, wanted to take their children - Jacob, eight, and Oliver, seven - on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday to Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida, US.

But when they compared the price of going in September during term time to the October half term they were astonished to see a £5k price difference.
