British Transport Police (BTP) said its officers gave out first aid in Sutton-in-Ashfield after the aircraft came to a halt at about 20:50 BST on Saturday.

Pilot Andrew Davidson, who brought the balloon down beside the Nags Head pub, said he had never experienced such a landing in more than 30 years of flying.

"It was untidy, but we were safe," he said.

Mr Davidson, who is chairman of the Nottingham and Derby Hot Air Balloon Club, said he was "anxious" to land before reaching the town as he was low on fuel, but he could not find an appropriate spot.
