DON'T forget - the clocks go forward this weekend marking the start of British summer giving us even more daylight.

The clocks go forward at 1am tomorrow - Sunday, March 27.

Unfortunately, it means your weekend will be cut short by one hour, but in return we will see more daylight in the evening.

Any device connected to the internet such as smartphones, televisions, laptops and tablets will change automatically.

However - be careful - alarm clocks, car radios and other devices not connected to the internet will need to be adjusted manually.

The principal reason we change the clocks is to get the most out of the daylight.

New Zealand entomologist George Vincent Hudson is credited with proposing the modern daylight saving time.

The first clock change was introduced by the German government in 1916 during the First World War as a means of saving energy - the longer the daylight hours lasted, the less electricity required.

Many European governments followed suit, including Britain, and so was born BST.

To avoid confusion over the time, there is a simple saying to remember when to change your clock forward or back: “spring forward, fall back”.
