    Hi Mark,

    Sorry didn't spot that in my original post - should have said

    So if I create a link called "Home" pointing to "<front>" it works but there is no "active" class on the LI. I have tried other variations but anything linking to the home page doesn't get an active class on the LI. Any other menu item/page is fine. First major project on the D8 version so may be me missing something! But afraid it is not working for me.

    I did a little digging (by searching for other issues) and determined that this is actually a flaw of core itself #1578832: Class active-trail not added to li element when linking to front page.

    However, you may be able to fix it using https://www.drupal.org/project/menu_trail_by_path
