Bank Holiday latest: some airport strikes still on at Stansted; weather will be sunny in Britain

Bank Holiday strikes at Gatwick and Manchester airport have been called off, but 30 baggage screeners employed at Stansted airport will still walk out at the weekend.

Airfield Services, which employs the baggage screeners at Stansted, says that they will ensure only 'minimal disruption' for travellers. Two million Britons are expected to travel abroad this Bank Holiday.

Bank Holiday weather will be mainly sunny, although there nowhere will escape the rain, according to Met Office predictions.

The RAC warns that this morning is going to be the busiest time on the roads, while Network Rail is carrying out extensive works across the country over the weekend, particularly on the West Coast mainline.

The strikes planned at Gatwick and Manchester airports, however, have been called off.

Country Life

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
