Can an EU family member enter the UK using an EU residence permit?
I am a Sri Lankan national and passport holder, and an EU residence permit holder, married to an EU national.
I would like to go to the UK for a short visit. Do I also need a visa to enter the UK?
Although I've looked, I haven't found a definitive answer.

As per Timatic, the database used by Airlines:
Visa required, except for Passengers with a "Family Member"
Residence Card marked "Permanent Residence Card of a Family
Member of a Union Citizen or Residence Card of a Family Member of a Union Citizen issued by another EEA member state to family members of an EEA national or national of Switzerland if traveling with or traveling to join the EEA national or national of Switzerland.
Meaning: if you have a residence card documenting you as being a family member of an EU national (not the same Thing as an ordinary residence permit), and are travelling with your spouse, or to join him/her, then you do not need a visa
If you are travelling alone and not to meet your spouse, or you do not have a residence card for family members of an EEA citizen, you will Need a visa
