Clocks go forward at 1am on Sunday, March 25, 2012 to mark the beginning of British Summer Time

REMEMBER to put your clocks forward an hour tonight (Saturday) as the UK moves into British Summer Time.

British Summer Time (BST) officially beings at 1am on Sunday, March 25, when clocks spring forward 60 minutes.

Clocks should be put forward an hour to 2am as the UK moves out of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

This means losing an hour in bed on Sunday morning, but on the plus side evenings will be lighter as summer approaches.

BST starts on the last Sunday in March and ends on the final Sunday in October.
