Planes struggled to land at Heathrow Airport as strong winds battered the airport.

Footage shows multiple aircraft battling strong cross winds, with some forced to abort their landings and try again on Monday, 16 September.

British Airways and Aer Lingus flights came dangerously close to touching down before pulling up, while an American Airlines jet battled a particularly wobbly landing.

A yellow wind warning from the Met Office covered most of England and all of Wales until 6pm yesterday (Tuesday, 16 September).
