A Kent student who has been in a coma in Mexico since falling from a hotel balcony on New Year's Eve has woken up.

Philip Pain, 21, a former Dartford Grammar School pupil, has undergone many operations after falling seven floors in Mazatlan.

His family has been successfully campaigning for those with Philip's rare type-O negative blood to come forward.

Philip, from Bexleyheath, was in Mexico as part of his course at the University of Southampton.
