Twenty-nine Royal Air Force aircraft soared over Buckingham Palace, Central London, on 17 June in an impressive flypast to mark the Queen’s Birthday Parade.

Fifteen types of RAF aircraft took part in the flypast, including two of the RAF’s world-class display teams – the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight
(BBMF) and the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team – the Red Arrows.

This formation flew over the Palace at 1300BST, divided into eight elements, in roughly 30-second intervals.
