London Heathrow questions

Many years ago we were flying out of High Wycombe aerodrome with a visual view of Heathrow in the distance. The pilot of our aeroplane turn to me and mentioned a couple of facts about Heathrow and I wonder if someone would be kind enough to either corroborate these as being true or dismiss them as untrue.

The two facts which I would like to have clarified are as follows:
1) Many years ago, on Christmas days, Heathrow would open up its airspace and runways for light aircraft to land free of charge.
2) A light aircraft technically can land on the width of any of Heathrows runways.

Thanks in anticipation of any comments or recollections.
