Quote from the Daily Mail.
"Mr Paxton had offered her a lift in his helicopter because he was going to Glastonbury anyway.
The qualified commercial pilot said: "The trip down was fine but it was obvious that the weather was getting worse. "As we approached the hotel I knew there was not enough time to guarantee a safe arrival. I saw a sports field ahead and decided to land there."
He added: "There was not one point where I felt remotely concerned. Safety is paramount when flying and I am always aware of what impact the weather may have.
"If I had not decided to divert, there could have been a situation where there were multiple fatalities.
"I am not willing to put anybody's life at risk, whether it be a Dame or any other passenger."
