A former Catholic chaplain of Gatwick Airport has denied a string of sex attacks dating back more than 40 years.

Michael Hill, 68, of Lincolns Mead, Lingfield, Surrey, appeared at the Old Bailey today.

He pleaded not guilty to 13 charges of indecent assault and one of buggery dating from April 1959 to September 1989.

They are alleged to concern five boys and one girl aged between four and 16.

He was granted unconditional bail until the next hearing on September 16.

His trial is due to start on November 18.
