This was the moment a BA flight attempted to touch down twice before aborting the landing, as Storm Kathleen grounded flights and triggered yellow wind warnings.

Over 100 flights were cancelled on Saturday 6 April as 70-mph winds are expected to batter western areas of the UK, including the northwest and southwest of England, Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland and Wales.

34,000 people were left without power due to the severe weather conditions, which are set to grip the country throughout the weekend.
