BA242 (MEX-LHR) breaks Duke of Edinburgh's funeral silence

Heathrow Airport announced on Friday that it was prohibiting planes from taking off or touching down for a six-minute period coinciding with the national one-minute silence at 3pm, which will mark the start of the service.

Pity that BA's 242 was one of two airline flying over whilst the silence was ending. It flew over the long drive at 15:02. Couldn't it have been put in a brief hold?
