The likely route for the Red Arrows flypast to mark VE Day has been revealed.
The stunning aerial display will fly over the south of England to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day,including over Buckingham Palace in London.
The flyover will take place on Monday,May 5,and it’s expected thousands of people along the route will line the streets to watch the flypast.
Not only will the Red Arrows take part in the display,but a further flypast of more than 20 current and historic military aircraft will also fly over London.
P8 Poseidons,involved in tensions with Russia,Typhoon fast jets which are part of Nato Air Policing,and Voyager aircraft which have delivered equipment to Ukrainian forces are all taking part.

The Red Arrows flypast route could be subject to change,depending on weather conditions and other factors on the day.
The display will begin over the North Sea off the cost of Norfolk before heading inland over East Anglia,Essex and London.
Planes will then disperse over Berkshire,Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
