Converting NSString to Epoch timestamp iOS7

I need to convert the following date to epoch timestamp

Wed, 21 May 2014 16:47:00 BST

stringPubDate has the above string stored in it.

    NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];

    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"EEE, d MMMM yyyy HH:mm:ss z"];

    NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:stringPubDate];

Null is being returned when I do this. I need to convert this NSString to NSDate and then convert it into epoch timestamp. Can someone please help me?

The problem is that the date format you are giving does not match the format of the date in the string.
