The Queen has officially opened Heathrow Airport’s controversial Terminal 5, describing it as “a 21st Century gateway to Britain”.
Hundreds of airport and construction workers attended the opening ceremony.
The £4.3bn terminal, set to begin operating on 27 March, will offer extra passenger capacity but no more flights.
Operator BAA said it would put Heathrow at “the leading edge of global travel” but environmental groups say it will lead to more flights and pollution.
