The room started to rumble, three women in British Airways uniforms stepped to the front, and it felt as though we were in flight. However, since we had not heard the safety briefing, I doubted that this were possible. When I ask the cabin staff, they pointed to the notice on the wall. We should all have read this, rather than expected to rely on verbal instructions.

Our room landed at Heathrow airport and we disembarked.  For months, I had not seen so many joyful crowds of people gathered in such close proximity.  I concluded that the pandemic was well and truly over.
