Thousands of stag dos have been affected by Iceland’s lively volcano, the revellers have either been unable to leave the UK or stranded abroad.

One stag party member, made it to Berlin expecting to meet up with the rest of stag party group, it soon became clear to him on arrival in Berlin that the rest of party had were unfortunately grounded in the UK.

The stranded civilian police officer from Brighton decided to make the best of his lone stag weekend by taking a cardboard cut out of the groom to all the popular Berlin tourist sites and taking photos of it to show the other stag party members what they had missed! I wonder if he got the idea to do this from the film Up in the Air starring George Clooney.

He returned to Blighty late last night after making his way across Europe on several trains before catching the ferry at Calais.

Another stag group should have been indulging in the wonders of the sin city of Las Vegas found themselves stuck in the UK so rather than hanging around at the airport headed to sunny Bournemouth.

Mark Frost, one of the stag group members advised a journalist from the Bournemouth Echo “someone in first class had a heart attack and the plane got delayed, by the time they had got him off the plane it was too late for us to take off, because then the blanket ban on flying had come in due to the cloud of volcanic ash. Everyone was gutted”.

“Three of the group are already there as they’ve gone from different places around the world”, Mark, 29, added. “And they’ve been kind enough to send us photos of Vegas and the fake volcano at the Mirage Hotel just to rub it in!”

After getting off their flight, they went for a drink to decide their next move, Prague and Amsterdam was discounted due to the current transport problems so they opted for Bournemouth, luck it was a sunny weekend in the UK.
