DId you have checked bags too?

At that time, yes both the UK Border and HAL Security are nearly empty, so you could be through passports + security + run to the gate in 10 to 15 minutes, but the baggage system is less flexible. I suspect if you were a single person HBO they would have rung FMU and the gate to allow you through.
