(Bloomberg) -- Air-traffic control services in the UK sought to restore normal operations after an hours-long system outage led to hundreds of delays and cancellations on one of the busiest days this travel season. The NATS authority said it had “identified and remedied” the technical issue that knocked out the automated flight planning system earlier on Monday. The system failure prevented planners from automatically processing flight plans and forced them instead to revert to manual input, meaning they couldn’t manage the same volumes. Heathrow and Gatwick airports both experienced steep delays and cancellations, with chaotic scenes playing out at London’s two main hubs as the number of axed flights swelled. “We are now working closely with airlines and airports to manage the flights affected as efficiently as possible,” NATS said in a statement. “Our engineers will be carefully monitoring the system’s performance as we return to normal operations.” The glitch coincided with on

W hen Roman Holiday was released, 70 summers ago, the monarchy was having a fashionable moment. Two months before, the world had watched the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, a relatively young, glamorous face for a fusty institution: the first such event to be globally televised, it made the very principle of royalty seem less like the realm of ancient history. I say “relatively”: the frilly pomp and ceremony of English royalty can’t have been much sexier in 1953 than it was in 2023, though at least they didn’t have official broad-bean quiche to contend with. There was certainly ample scope for Hollywood to prettify the notion a bit, which is where Roman Holiday proved most fortuitously timed. A romantic comedy that set a quasi-fantasy template for the genre that has endured to the modern era – take Notting Hill, a veritable homage – it played on a mid-century fascination with real-world princesses, with all the duller formalities taken out. Its protagonist, crown princess Ann, is

The union said it had secured improved pay offers for its members and so had halted the industrial action.
