Contact your airline to request assistance.
For this occasion you are defined as someone you needs a wheelchair (or a lift in a buggy).
You can request varies type of assistance -- eg just to the plane, or to the plane and then in a lifter up onto the aircraft.
Don't be embarrassed about looking "perfectly healthy." Anyone can request special assistance without having to give an explanation.

Have been in touch with the airlines. Very helpful. They are organizing a wheel chair for me at Gatwick and will have one at Manchester should i need it. She was concerned about only 50 minutes to catch my Venice flight, she said i probley would not have made it on my own and any delay at all i have missed it.The next one gets into Venice after midnight. I did query it months ago with my travel agent but she assured me that it would be fine "and anyway if you miss it they will put you on the next one "not really the answer i wanted.:mad:
Watch this space lol

Glad you got your assistance sorted, if we see someone being whizzed through LGW on a buggy, with a huge grin on her face, we'll know its you!

Good luck with the connection, it does seem a little tight.
