Just in the distance there are a lot of photographers and camera crews, because we are expecting the funeral procession to arrive here any moment 110w. Procession to arrive here any moment now. The service is due to last for around an hour, and are half. There will be a reading from liz dawns son, and also readings from current coronation street cast members, and over the past half an hour also, we have seen buses bringing in stars of the soap, storm who are still in the soap and some from previous days. We have seen hallen worth, and the actors who play sally and kevin and Les Battersby and tyrone, so a lot of people have decided to come to the service to pay their respect, because this was an actress who really created an iconic figure. Vera duckworth was in the soap for 34 Vera Duckworth was in the soap for 3a years, only deciding to leave in 2008 due to bad health, but after that she carried on campaigning after developing a lung disease to raise awareness of lung disease, because she thought she had picked it up from smoking in the past and also from when she started out her career and she was singing in smoke filled clubs. So she wanted to raise awareness of that, and she was also given an mbe for her work for charity, raising funds for local hospitals. But the Service Really is going to be a sad affair, some of the stars have looked very upset, but i also think there will be some laughs, because this was a character who on screen was rather a battle axe, but being coronation street there were lots of laughs, too, and people would tuning in their millions to see the relationship between vera and jack. It really endeared themselves to the nation, 12. 5 Million People tuned in when vera was written out of the soap back in 2008 at her request due to her health. She did return a couple of years later when her on screen husband died. She returned to play the part of the ghost of vera, and they had a final dance, which many, many people found very moving. So, very emotional on screen, and emotional this afternoon here in salford, still waiting for the funeral procession to arrive. Members of the public have gathered outside the cathedral to say farewell. Simon jones, thank you very much indeed.

Are these problems just concerning the budget airlines, or is it the whole industry . The whole industry has challenges of one sort or another. We have the brexit back drop, that affect a lot of airlines throughout europe. There is also overcapacity, in the north atlantic market we see a lot of improvement in the low cost carriers.
