Just passed my house at 9,000 feet. Looked ok, but going much slower than normal.

From LHR ATC on www.globaltuners.com, the pilot doing the radios said it's a pressurisation problem and that they expect a normal landing. Of course, fire engines will still enter the runway after its landing. It's now on the ILS for 27L.

Quoting skipness1E (Reply 4):

ATC said 'fire enter 27L after the landing 747' or very similar. Therefore, a highly reasonable conclusion to draw was that they did - and presumably, in this instance, as a precaution.
