Sods law that I'm going to be sleeping...but hopefully I should be up by the time they get the signal from Philae at 16:00GMT.
It's going to be a bit more dicey than originally planned since the thrusters designed to hold Philae in place on the comet have failed to activate so they've got to rely on the harpoons and the screws. Hopefully it will be enough.

Exciting day ahead for ESA, keeping everything crossed for them that Philae makes a safe and secure landing.

Thanks for the link Dowly!
