Your passport could be expired and you could still enter the UK.

Yes I realise that, I am more concerned with potential problems at the point of embarkation

If your passport is still valid and you are not on overstay, why would they keep you?

Every civilized country guarantees the right to return for it's citizens.

Thanks but I'm thinking more about the airline (No ticket yet) refusing me than problems with immigration

That's what the link is for.

Really, a citizen returning to his home country!

The home country (UK) can not refuse you!

What are you concerned about?

 

Airlines do care only for passengers flying to foreign countries and check about immigration/visa rules. Not applicable to citizens returning to home country.

Keep your hair on mate. I appreciate the link but I've already visited that site and encountered an arrogant sarcastic keyboard warrior (know what I mean ?) I've had a varied response to this question including "different airlines have different policies" so I'm sure you can work out why I'm seeking a definitive answer rather than leave it to the last minute .....

A bottle of hand cleaner  opened in my pocket and damaged my passport fairly well.    I was given a bucket full  of grief at the Manila airport about it when leaving the PI.     Upon arriving at the USA the immigration officer said the passport was OK but to insure no problems in the future I might consider replacing it which I did.

 

Yes,  having a damaged passport may cause issues at the departing airport for international flights.

Thanks but passport not damaged, the question is about minimum validity when flying home

The answer is as valid for airlines as it is for immigration.

 

Definitive answer.... no problem, no validity period required for the UK.
