Watching the parade on BBC. The Royal Salute , for some strange reason, took place at about 1056. They then stood easy, and awaited the flypast - and the four-minute wait seemeed very long. CAS was seen to say something to HM.

The Typhoon diamond nine flew over at precisely 1100, as planned - but not before the BBC commentator, Dan Snow said (precise words)
...the Duke of Edinburgh, of course a naval man, looking on as the RAF holds up proceedings.
I am, for once, speechless.
