Passengers check in for the last flight from Kenya
Breakfast's main story this morning was the news that hundreds of British travellers are stranded in Kenya following a major terrorist threat.

All British Airways flights to and from Nairobi, the Kenyan capital have been suspended.

The last BA plane to leave the capital, landed at Heathrow early Friday morning. The only other British operator to fly to Nairobi - Monarch - has also suspended its flights.

  • Breakfast reported on this story throughout the morning

    Graham Satchell was at Heathrow where the last British travellers arrived today.

    The Foreign Office has warned all British travellers to keep a low profile and if possible, to avoid the country.
