The Red Arrows are flying over parts of North Wales this weekend. Best chance to see them will be on Anglesey but there will also be opportunities right across the region.

The RAF’s aerial acrobatic team will be arriving here fresh from performing stunning displays with France’s Patrouille de France in Normandy, France, to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

They will be gracing the skies above North Wales en route to RAF Valley, Anglesey, on Friday, June 7, for an evening display over the Isle of Man TT races. The team will then return to RAF Valley for an overnight stay.
