Out of respect to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, we have suspended posting on Head for Points on Friday.
Here are a selection of images from the Heathrow and British Airways archives.

Bagoly says: I understand the divided opinions on whether “The Show Must Go On”.
But if you’re going to do a pause, this is a wonderfully inventive and relevant way of doing it, rather than the cookie-cutter treatment by most media and corporations.
ari etisteinberg says: Well let me be contrarian. I say: the Premier League has got it exactly right by cancelling this weekend’s football fixtures. What better way of expressing respect for Her Majesty (may she RIP)? You possibly think black armbands, a minute’s silence or perhaps applause – and a genuine loudly and proudly sung burst of the National Anthem before the games played as normal would have been a better alternative? No doubt also a few tears from the supporters before the match went ahead. All picked up on national TV.
Very shallow alternative. The Premier League surely knows what it is doing.
merlin90 says: I agree with this comment. The last 24 hours or so have been fairly absurd, in my view, for a whole host of reasons, and the idea of not posting out of respect for the Queen is no outlier in that regard. I am not particularly interested in any royal tributes, but I appreciate that’s likely not the majority opinion. That said, I think that what HfP has done with this collection of photos shows a great deal more thought (and relevance to the audience) than has been displayed by many companies in their public statements/reactions.
ari etisteinberg says: Absurd? No footie as a small gesture that Her Majesty would have approved of?
She surely wanted that.
