One man's agony encapsulates the Greek tragedy: Tearful pensioner sits on the floor outside a bank in desperation as the country teeters on the brink of financial collapse

  • Distraught elderly Greeks have been queuing outside banks to withdraw pensions - but are restricted to 120 euros
  • Greece is preparing to vote in a referendum on Sunday on whether to accept latest bailout agreement
  • Latest poll shows support for 'Yes' campaign is slightly ahead of the government-backed 'No' for first time
  • The country is teetering on the edge, with cash reserves of just 500million euros (£355million) in the bank
  • Meanwhile, tourists have been warned they could be left without food or access to medicines 'within days'
