Weatherday: The Heathrow heist

Photograph of recent sunrise taken by John Lawlor from Castlemartin.

A foggy start that may be stubborn to clear. But a chance of sunny spells through the mid afternoon.

Very light variable breezes and a high of just 6deg. It will stay dry.

On this day in 1983, gold, diamonds and cash stolen from a security company's warehouse at Heathrow Airport was the world's greatest robbery, valued at £26m.
