The gargantuan Terminal 5 has finally opened at Heathrow Airport. It is reserved only for British Airways flights.

The Queen is officially opening Heathrow's £4.3 billion Terminal 5 less than 24 hours after an intruder ran on to a runway at the west London airport.

Strict security will be in place as the Queen is greeted by hundreds of airport and construction workers at the vast new terminal building.
