Today is the day the UK becomes the first G7 country to completely phase out coal power
Since opening "Jumbo", the world's first coal power plant in 1882, the UK's coal plants have burned through a whopping 4.6bn tonnes of coal, emitting 10.4GtCO2 – which is more than most countries have ever released
Here's the story of how that all came to an end:
