Red Arrows fly past: Where and when to see this weekend's displays
The RAF jet pilots will put on a display at the Eastbourne International Airshow this afternoon.
It comes after the aerobatic display team put on a flypast yesterday to commemorate VJ Day, or Victory over Japan Day.
They first took to the skies along the south coast, but travelled into the midlands above Birmingham and Wolverhampton for the patriotic display.
But if you missed them, you may still be able to catch a glimpse this weekend.

North Wales 'slum by the sea' where Mancunians lived in 'rotting' buses
A North Wales seaside resort was once branded a "shanty town" with families taking shelter in the rotting shells of buses and trains - for a holiday. Dubbed by one publication as the "slum by the sea", this North Wales seaside destination was extremely popular with holidaymakers from Greater Manchester. Even today, Talacre beach remains a beloved location with its golden sands and holiday park for many across the border. Now, its dunes and shoreline are recognised as globally important wildlife habitats and classified as a special area of scientific interest. The original holiday chalets at Talacre were constructed on The Warren – a section of rough terrain beside the beach – during the 1930s. The outbreak of war in 1939 witnessed The Warren's chalets packed with evacuees fleeing the bombing campaigns on neighbouring major cities like Manchester and Liverpool. As the Blitz escalated, the flow of displaced families into the village increased. With chalets scarce for the evacuees, temporary shelters emerged, whilst some converted old caravans, railway carriages, and buses into dwellings. Despite missing essential amenities like electricity and running water, The Warren was formally acknowledged as a camp during World War Two, reports the Manchester Evening News. Many were lone mothers with their youngsters, attempting to establish a new existence away from the target cities of Manchester and Liverpool – their spouses away at war or remaining in the city for employment. However, despite escaping the bombardment of their home cities, the conflict remained a constant presence even in Talacre. During daylight hours, RAF airmen utilised the sand dunes for training exercises, shooting at wooden targets positioned close to the shoreline. Following the war's conclusion, several of the chalets transformed into permanent residences for the camp's inhabitants. Holidaymakers also flocked back to The Warren, which evolved into an enchanting escape from urban life for countless generations of youngsters. By the close of the 1950s, the absence of adequate facilities and what were perceived as substandard conditions at the site had become a source of mockery amongst contemporary comedians, beginning to draw unfavourable media attention. In June 1959, the Daily Herald newspaper published an article cautioning potential visitors against being misled into reserving accommodation at the North Wales "shanty town". The reporter warned that unwary tourists "won't know until they arrive that they've booked for a slum by the sea," describing The Warren as a "shanty town in which sheds, shacks and bus bodies predominate." The article went on to state that the entire stretch of coastline had been deemed "unsafe for bathing" and lacked proper sanitation, electricity, or sufficient water provision. One complaint letter regarding the seaside destination, featured in the Manchester Evening News in July 1953 from a frustrated visitor, was particularly scathing. A Mrs GM Chorlton from Wilmslow wrote: "Can anything be done about a scandalous state of affairs at Talacre Beach, about four miles this side of Prestatyn? We were there from June 20 to 27 and there was a dead porpoise on the beach, stinking to high heaven and smothered in blow-flies. "To my disgust it is still there - my son-in-law has just returned. Can you imagine the stench?". Mrs Chorlton continued: "For the sake of the children who are there on holiday something should be done. Moreover, there are thousands of broken bottles and rusty, empty tins on the beach - a lovely beach - ruined, too." Adding: "There is no sanitation as I understand it. All filth is buried in a hole in the ground." The press's frequent use of the phrase "shanty town" to describe the seaside spot didn't sit well with everyone. In 1964, one councillor furiously told Llanasa Parish Council they should protest against such language, declaring: "Talacre is now a modern village with lighting and running water. The shanty town – The Warren – belongs to a private owner." Talacre Beach Resort initially opened during the 1960s under the name Morfa Holiday Camp, with some of the earliest holidaymakers still occupying basic huts dotted along the shore. As the decade wore on, numerous temporary structures including converted buses were demolished to make way for caravan developments. By 1973, the final remnants of the old beach huts had been cleared from the sand dunes as the destination's appeal continued to flourish.
