When diplomatic efforts to solve the crisis were abandoned, the UN Security Council set a deadline of 15 January 1991 for all Iraqi forces to be withdrawn and authorised the use of "all necessary means" to force Iraq to comply.

The first phase of the Gulf War was an extensive aerial bombing campaign which was underway by 17 January and would last for more than a month.

More than 100,000 sorties were flown by the coalition, dropping 88,500 tons of bombs and widely destroying military and civilian infrastructure.

Each day, the bombing would begin at midnight UK time.

"I think I was up every night 'til two, three o'clock in the morning to see how it was going and then back up awake again at 6 o'clock to see how it had gone," Sir John remembers.

"Some of my senior civil servants were up all night, night after night after night.
