Gatwick Airport suspended flights for over an hour on Wednesday evening due to a “systems issue.” The airport said that an “air traffic control systems issue” in its control tower caused it to suspend flights, likely disrupting hundreds of passengers. Flights began to take off and land again after 7pm once the issue was resolved. A spokesman for Gatwick Airport said that it worked with the provider of its computer system to get the flight control system back online. "If you are travelling this evening please check the status of your flight with your airline before travelling to the airport, as we return to full operations," a spokesman said. Passengers on flights grounded at the airport posted photographs on Twitter to complain about the delays to their flights. At least the pilot of @easyJet EZY8879 takes the time to inform passengers about the problems with the flight control system @Gatwick_Airport.

Kate Moss’s sister Lottie ‘lost her chihuahua puppy after leaving a boozy party and FORGETTING to take the pooch with her’
LOTTIE MOSS is doing a sterling job of copying her older half-sister Kate. She has already followed her into modelling, has dated a string of famous names and is now pulling off some barking-mad incidents of her own when under the influence.
