Heathrow Airport will be closed all day Friday, after a fire broke out at a nearby electrical substation that supplies it with power.
The UK’s busiest airport has warned of "significant disruption" over the coming days, and has warned passengers not to travel "under any circumstances" until it reopens.
More than 1,300 flights around the world have been affected.
The London Fire Brigade said around 70 firefighters were tackling the fire – the cause of which is still unknown.
The fire has also left more than 16,000 homes without power, and caused around 150 people to be evacuated from surrounding properties in west London. Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/1rbfUog
