I flew Frankfurt to Heathrow yesterday (in seat 4F). We held for an hour in the Lambourne area. There was a Virgin A340 going round in formation with us, 1000ft above, but I think that he probably diverted. There were some spectacular Cb's between us and Stansted so I assume that Gatwick would have been the obvious choice. I'm gald that the captain took plenty of fuel.
