Emotional end to Nasa space shuttle programme as Atlantis touches down for last time

After more than 30 years, Nasa's space shuttle programme comes to an end as Atlantis touches down at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

 "The crew of four, lead by Commander Christopher Ferguson, have completed a two-week supply run mission to the International Space Station (ISS).
Space shuttle Atlantis will now join Discovery and Endeavour in retirement.
Until the next generation of spacecraft is developed, Nasa will rely on Russian Soyuz vehicles to ferry crew and cargo to the ISS and beyond."
