The later and last flight to LHR was also cancelled. Those passengers only made to hotel around 01:30 in morning.
Silver lining: it at least used to be the case that if the doors closed, you get the tier points (as I found out one valentines day flying from EDI to London, which eventually got diverted back to EDI)
