The Red Arrows will perform a flypast in London as part of King Charles III's birthday celebrations. Lincolnshire's iconic aerobatics display team were out in Guernsey for an air display on Thursday, June 13 and have made their way back to RAF Waddington to prepare for the royal event.

On Saturday, June 15, the Reds will take off from their base in Waddington at 12.28pm. They will make their way around the east coast before heading straight to Buckingham Palace for a flypast at 1.06pm.

King Charles has carried on the tradition of Trooping the Colour, which dates all the way back to 1748. As a result, he celebrates two birthdays, with his actual date of birth being November 14.
