Persistent fog at Heathrow airport has led to numerous flight cancellations and delays.

British Airways, the main carrier at the west London airport, axed some short-haul flights, while others were subject to long delays.

BA said the fog had led to air traffic controllers imposing "very severe restrictions on the number of aircraft that could take off and land each hour".

BA went on: "Customers were rebooked onto alternative services or given a full refund. We apologise to customers for the inconvenience caused, but the situation was beyond our control."
