Flights across Europe are having to be diverted to alternative airports or return to their original destination.

In total, the closure is expected to impact more than 1,300 flights, according to FlightRadar24..

Rail services to and from Heathrow – which more than 200,000 people travel through every day – have been cancelled today, National Rail said.

It comes as more than 16,000 homes were also left without power after the blaze broke out at a substation in Hayes, West London, shortly after 11pm on Thursday.
