Lightening strikes affecting flights to and from London

Passengers have been left stranded at Stansted Airport in London after lightning strikes damaged its aircraft fueling system.
Flights in and out of the airport have been cancelled, diverted or delayed - with many passengers left sitting on grounded planes and in departures.
Some Cork flights are among those affected as many people attempt to leave the country after returning home to vote.
Ryanair has apologised to all customers affected by the disruptions - insisting they are "entirely beyond our control."
