Powered by sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for the first time in a public performance, this is the #RedArrows’ over #London to mark HM The King’s Official Birthday. In addition to using a blend of SAF for propulsion, the team’s coloured vapour trails were created using a biofuel.

Pratik Joshi had been living in London for six years. A software professional, he’d long dreamed of building a life abroad for his wife and three young children, who stayed back in India.

After years of waiting for due clearances the dream was finally coming true. Just two days ago, his wife, Dr. Komi Vyas, a renowned doctor in Udaipur, resigned from her job. The bags were packed, goodbyes said, the future within reach.

This morning, the family of five, filled with hope and excitement, boarded Air India flight 171 to London. They clicked a selfie. Sent it to relatives. A one-way journey to a new life. But they never made it. The plane crashed. No one survived.

In a matter of moments, a lifetime of dreams turned to ash. A brutal reminder, life is terrifyingly fragile. Everything you build, everything you hope for, everything you love, it all hangs by a thread. So while you can, live, love, and don’t wait for happiness to start tomorrow.

My thought for the day. Single Market. Customs Union. More money for defence. Strengthen Europe. Place us firmly back at the heart of our continent economically, militarily and geopolitically.

A round of applause to our workers on the apron powering through the snowstorm to keep aircraft and people moving! ✈️

Leeds is probably the most unlucky city in Western Europe

🎭 European City of Culture funding? Sorry we're leaving the EU.

🚄HS2? Sorry we spent too much in the chilterns.

🛫New Airport terminal? Sorry that's not climate friendly, but London Airport expansions are fine.

Happy winter solstice to the Northern Hemisphere & summer solstice to the Southern Hemisphere!

It's the longest day for the south and the shortest day for the north, due to Earth's axial tilt and orbit of the Sun.

[Met Office @metoffice]

It’s the winter solstice this weekend so we can start looking forward to days lengthening and nights shortening once again ☀️🌍
