Here is how major stock markets outside the United States ended on Tuesday.
The stock, which hit a three-year high on Monday, fell 2.8 percent to 926-1/2 pence. Autos were also among the hardest hit as European consumers bought fewer cars last month, while French engineering firm Alstom sank 7.8 percent, down for a second day in heavy trading ahead of its earnings on Thursday.
And plans by Vodafone Group to hand 6.0 billion pounds ($11.12 billion) back to shareholders failed to inspire investors in the world's biggest mobile phone company by revenue.
Vodafone fell 0.5 percent to 142 pence as analysts said the payout had been widely anticipated. The FTSEurofirst 300 index ended off 0.6 percent at 1,027.18 points in good volume.
The All Gold index closed at 1,945.12 points, down 4.66 or 0.24 percent, while the Industrial index closed at 9,057.75 points, down 8.66 or 0.10 percent.
