Air passengers have been left panicked and confused after a "Welcome to Luton" sign appeared near Gatwick Airport. The 60m (197ft) sign is visible on the approach to Gatwick - which is about 60 miles south of Luton. Abbey Desmond, from Great Dunmow, tells ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Essex that when she spotted it out of the window on landing, it left her in a "state of panic". The stunt has been claimed by YouTube prankster Max Fosh, who apologised if "anyone has been seriously thrown". ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Essex speaks to Abbey Desmond and Max Fosh.
