Very nice photos sunshine band, thanks.

Razor61, you say
I wonder how well the BBC will cover this flypast this time.
Well you may remember that, this time last year, Nicholas Witchell made an utter pigs ear of commentating on the flypast.

This year there was some doubt about whether they would cover it live at all - the Trooping of the Colour coverage finishes an hour beforehand, and at 1300 BBC1 is on footie and tennis

However, I’m glad to say that they’re now going to do it live on BBC News (that’s the channel that used to be called News 24). The only slight problem is that there will be no commentary coverage from Canada Gate (outside Buckingham Palace). It’ll all be done from the studio. (Not by Nicholas W!) A lot better than nothing, though. I hope.
