CLOCKS go forward an hour later this month as 2013 British Summer Time starts in the UK.
So when do the clocks change this year?
British Summer Time (BST) will start in the early hours of Easter Sunday, March 31.
Clocks should be put forward 60 minutes at 1am as the UK moves out of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
This means losing an hour in bed on Easter Sunday morning.
Clocks go forward an hour from 1am to 2am on Sunday, March 31 as 2013 British Summer Time begins
As a result of the change, there will be more daylight in the evenings and less in the mornings.
