The Red Arrows will be performing its 60th-anniversary display in Lincolnshire this weekend in honour of Armed Forces Day. Whilst the day falls on Saturday, June 29, the event will be held over the whole weekend in Cleethorpes due to the large number of visitors expected.

Previous years have seen more than 200,000 visitors, and 2024 is expected to exceed this due to it being the 60th anniversary of the Red Arrows. On Friday, June 28, there will be live music and a carnival parade, whereas on Saturday there will be events from 10am to 11:30pm, including a military parade with bands, an air display, military ground assets culminating and a full firework display.

This includes the Red Arrows 60th Anniversary display from 4:20pm until 4:45pm. There will also be an RAF Typhoon display at 12:45pm and an RAF Tutor display at 2:50pm.

There will also be a large air display on Sunday from 11am, with military ground assets, markets, community activities and entertainment across the whole of the seafront.

OPINION - Keir Starmer crossed a big line when he called Rishi Sunak a liar — he shouldn't have done it
Now, the issue here isn’t the truthfulness or accuracy of Rishi Sunak’s claims about Labour’s tax plans: I quite accept that those claims are, to put it mildly, debatable. There were a hundred circumlocutions you could use: if Sir Keir had spluttered, “that’s not true!” it would have meant exactly the same thing, but would have been entirely unproblematic. Once, scrupulous people would use the word “untruth” in denying the veracity of a statement and this too would lack the terrible force of the word “lie”, which implies a deliberate intention to deceive.

Jay Slater: Spanish authorities remain silent on missing teen while online conspiracies reach fever pitch
What was a sprawling operation last week now feels more focused, with a cluster of officers from the Civil Guard telling me they were looking at a particular ravine with a nearby water source. Gesturing to the other side of the uneven terrain, one explained how they needed special equipment to access an area that is difficult to traverse on foot. The changeable conditions we've seen in the Rural de Teno national park over the past week have included not just the high temperatures you'd expect in Tenerife, but also cloud cover, high winds and rain.
