JEREMY Corbyn was stopped by wellwishers as he walked around York.

Leaving Walmgate on the way to Rosemary Place, 17-year-old fan Azia Carlyle thanked him for coming.

Mr Corbyn praised her Jimi Hendrix t-shirt, saying the 1960s musician was a hero of his.

She said one of her friends wanted to marry Mr Corbyn, to which the Labour leader laughed: "Marry me? I'm already spoken for, I'm really sorry about that."

Her home has not been affected by the floods but the Grand Opera House where she works was hit.

Afterwards she said: "I think he is absolutely amazing, his politics speaks out to young people. His politics speaks out to young people."
