"We're proud of our craft and very excited to pass it on to future generations."A retired sub-postmistress has notched up her third academic degree at the age of 79.

Pat and Ivan Wetherell, from Middlesbrough, both completed Open University (OU) courses in the 1970s when their children were small, having to buy a television set especially to do so.Later, Pat went on to gain a further degree at Teesside University and has now graduated with an MA in History from the OU.Rather then calling it a day, she said she is considering going for a doctorate as "you are never too old".

The couple, who have now been married for 60 years, felt they had missed out academically, so jumped at the chance to further their education when the OU started in 1971.However, while nowadays much of the studying can be completed online, it was different in those days.

Pat said: "We'd always vowed we'd never have a television, but we had to go off and buy one because the lessons were broadcast.

"We also learned through units coming through the letterbox."The west London airport also reported it had the "highest departure punctuality out of the major European hubs" with 99% of bags on the planned flights and 97% of passengers clearing security in under five minutes.

Chief executive Thomas Woldbye said: "Last month showed Heathrow at its very best - we successfully navigated our busiest April ever whilst our service levels took a further leap forward."Mr Woldbye said work was already ''under way across the airport'' ahead of the busy summer ahead.

"We're providing great value for our passengers and I'm proud of what we've achieved in collaboration with our Team Heathrow partners so far this year,'' he added.Some airlines which use Heathrow have branded the airport the most expensive in the world for passenger charges.
