Great Britain is today marking the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe during World War II, VE Day and amongst the many events up and down the UK, London will see a special flypast from the Royal Air Force that will pass over the city, down the Mall and over Buckingham Palace.
But apart from London, this spectacular flypast will also be able to be seen in other areas around London and the South East as the aircraft form up and prepare for the inch perfect flypast.
The main flypast itself will begin over London at 13:45 BST (12:45 GMT) and will last for approximately 5 minutes.
The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) Lancaster will be the World War II representative with the rest of the flypast including RAF Airbus A330 Voyager and A400M, a Boeing P8 Poseidon, C17 Globemaster, RC 135 Rivet Joint, Eurofighter Typhoons and of course the RAF Red Arrows.
Forming up out over the North Sea, the flypast formation with turn towards London flying in over the Essex coast near Colchester before heading down over Chelmsford meaning anyone in that corner of Essex has a chance to see the flypast as they run in towards London.
Following the run over London, the formation will run out towards London Heathrow Airport (LHR/EGLL) before turning north towards Luton.
Thousands of people are expected to line streets in central London to watch the flypast all hoping get the perfect view of more than 20 of the RAF’s finest aircraft from past and present.
King Charles and Queen Camilla are expected to make an appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace during the military parade and the flypast. King Charles of course has close ties to the Royal Air Force with his son, Prince William, Prince of Wales flying in the RAF for many years and King Charles himself training as a pilot in the RAF in the 1970s.
