Some passengers stuck overseas have been told they won't be able to get home until Wednesday at the latest after 50,000 flights going to, from or flying within the UK were hit by the disruption.

The catastrophic IT failure impacted 300 million computers worldwide and it could take weeks for all of them to be fixed.

organisation representing payroll workers warned that issues caused by the meltdown could delay people being paid.
