UK date format

Hello.

Is there a way to turn this into a UK date format of DD/MM/YYYY please?

sensor:
  - platform: time_date
    display_options:
      - 'time'
      - 'date'

sensor.date 2017-10-24

Cheers
Mark

If the ISO format doesn’t suit, you can use a template sensor using timestamp_custom to display the date and time in any format you want.

I’m a newbie.
I have consulted the two pages and I suppose it is necessary to use “as-timestamp()”. But I’m not able to use it properly. Could you give an example?
Thank you
