Heavy fog in southern and eastern England has disrupted flights and created hazardous driving conditions for commuters.

Heathrow Airport cancelled 52 incoming and outgoing flights on Wednesday morning.

The Met Office had warned of visibility of less than 50 metres on some of the region's roads.

Among the services axed were British Airways flights to Zurich, Glasgow and Dusseldorf.

Gatwick operated normally but there were delays and cancellations at Southampton Airport, with no aircraft able to land.

The flight problems follow last Saturday's major disruption at all airports after difficulties at the headquarters of air traffic control company Nats.
