Sounds like someone fcuked up , rules at Heathrow are very clear:

However, if you do need to travel with liquids, please be aware of the following restrictions which apply to all liquids you wish to carry through an airport security checkpoint:
1. All liquids must be in individual containers not greater than 100ml capacity. 2. They must be placed in one transparent re-sealable transparent bag, no larger than 20cm x 20cm (8" x 8") in size, and fit comfortably inside the bag so it can be fastened closed
3. Only one bag per passenger is allowed. The bag must be clear and re-sealable, such as ‘ziplock’ bags or bags with pressable seals. Larger bags or bags that are sealable, such as fold-over sandwich bags are not allowed
4. Each passenger must remove their clear plastic bag from their hand baggage and place it in on the conveyor belt for X-ray screening
5. Liquids in containers of more than 100ml capacity can be packed in your hold baggage
6. Exemptions to the liquids rule applies for liquid medicine or baby milk/food

But anything bought 'airside' from duty free is allowed.

Exceptions
You can 'fly with everything you buy' after security. The exception is Australia. You cannot bring in any liquids over 100ml into Australia. If you are transferring to another flight before you reach your final destination, particularly within the EU, store staff may need to place your purchases in a special sealed bag. Please note if you are flying directly to the USA or Canada, you will be allowed to carry liquids. However if you are transferring within the USA or Canada you will need to place your purchases over 100ml in your hold baggage, which all passengers have to pick up before transferring to their next flight. A few other countries may have introduced individual restrictions and our staff will be able to advise you on this.
