Riat 2025: Air show's 'spiritual excitement like Glastonbury'

The co-founder of a popular air show which is marking its 40th anniversary says the "spiritual excitement" of the event "is a bit like Glastonbury".Thousands of people have attended the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) every year since 1985 at RAF Fairford, in Gloucestershire, for air shows and is one of the biggest military air shows in the world, hosting the latest technology in year's event started on Friday and finishes at about 19:30 BST on Sunday. Tim Prince, RIAT's co-founder, said: "Most people go away having seen airplanes from Germany, France and Russia in the past. "From all these different countries with all their difference colours, and their flying overalls and their spirit enthusiasm."It's a bit like Glastonbury. It's that whole spiritual excitement you get."He said the volunteers were "an incredible force to be reckoned with"."They know what to do and when to do it. They work all hours to make things happen."They're not just aircraft enthusiasts, they're just people who love an impossible challenge."To mark its 40th anniversary, visitors submitted pictures and stories of wonderful moments they had over the years to the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust. One such example was from David Traynor who said he spotted Angie's picture on a dating website with her favourite plane in the background at RIAT in messaged her and years later they got married. Richard Toms said among his most memorable days at RIAT was having an extra 20 minutes inside Concorde while he celebrated his 50th birthday."It was the 26 July 1996 and a supersonic flight on Concorde G-BOAB over the Bay of Biscay," he said."We had an extra 20 minutes added to the flight due to a delay in the flying display over Fairford, so we were treated to a run along the English Channel as far as Beachy Head and back before returning to the the airfield via Lymington." Russell Powell said his local running club, Fleet and Crookham Athletic Club, would dress up to sell RIAT programmes for charity.

I'm a frequent flyer - here's how you can REALLY bag a flight upgrade

It's the one thing most flight passengers want but can't have - the chance to turn left on a plane and make their trip at 38,000ft a whole lot more comfortable. With business and first class tickets often priced at thousands above the cost of a seat at the back of the plane, they remain accessible only to the wealthy, or business travellers whose companies will foot the bill. However, several flight experts have shared their wisdom on tips and tricks to get a spot at the front of the plane without coughing up the full price. Speaking to The Independent, Gilbert Ott, founder of travel site said that buying a ticket in premium economy, often just a few hundred pounds more than an economy seat, can often secure you a place at the front of the queue for upgrades. Ott told the publication that the smallest cabin on the plane often gets the most oversold: 'They love to oversell this cabin with upgrades, effectively selling a seat on the plane twice to someone. 'And since it's such a small cabin, here you're most likely to receive a complimentary bump to business or first class.' And if you're travelling with a more budget operator, such as easyJet or Ryanair? Another expert, Zach Griff, senior reporter at travel brand The Points Guy, says a last-minute check-in is often the key to a better seat. He explained that often the most expensive seats on low-cost airlines are still sold right until the last moment - and when it's time to fly, you might bag an eleventh hour move to a more comfortable, better appointed seat. The travel sage said: 'If they end up going unsold, it's possible they might assign them to the last people checking in.' Earlier this year, Dawn Morwood, Co-Director of Cheap Deals Away UK, shared how to 'position yourself as a prime candidate' for the cabin crew to move you up to business – or even first class – absolutely free of charge. The first tip from Dawn is simply just to ask. She told the Express: 'When you check in, smile warmly and simply ask, 'Are there any upgrade opportunities available today?' 'This phrasing is important - it's polite, direct, and shows you understand upgrades aren't guaranteed.' But the timing of this question is also just as important, says Dawn. She explains: 'Check in early, when more premium seats are likely available, but not during peak busy periods when staff are rushed. And always ask discreetly - never demand an upgrade in front of other passengers.' Even your clothes could also make all the difference, so Dawn recommends choosing your airport outfit very wisely – and making a bit of an effort with your appearance. She says: 'Smart-casual clothing sends a signal that you'll 'fit in' with the premium cabin environment. 'Think neat jeans or trousers, a collared shirt or nice top, and clean, decent shoes.' Telling the staff you're celebrating something like a honeymoon or big birthday could also lead to cabin crew giving you special treatment. Dawn adds: 'I've seen couples get upgraded because they mentioned their anniversary. One pair even received complimentary champagne in business class.' Dawn also recommends being flexible with your travel plans and keeping an eye out for oversold flights - often during school holidays or weekends – as 'these flights offer better upgrade opportunities'. But there are some big, 'simple mistakes' Dawn says many people make that 'instantly ruin their chances of an upgrade'. She says: 'Asking loudly in front of other passengers, arriving at the gate just before boarding, or being rude to staff are all guaranteed ways to stay in economy. 'Remember that upgrades are at the discretion of airline staff – they're more likely to reward polite, appreciative customers who've shown loyalty to their airline. 'Even if you're nervous or excited, stay calm and friendly. 'A little genuine courtesy goes a long way when upgrade decisions are being made.'

Stacey Solomon's major glow-up! Star, 35, reveals her skincare secrets and workout regime with her personal trainer sister as she wows fans with incredible confident new look

Stacey Solomon has not been able to dull her glow and left fans amazed last week when she made a radiant appearance at her brand REHAB's new skincare launch. The presenter, 35, joined stars including Mel C to celebrate her latest milestone, bringing her love of skincare recommendations into the forefront of her career. And she was her own best advert as she showed off her own flawless complexion after garnering praise from fans for her stunning body-positive bikini snaps and very glamorous holiday shots. Her fans have been eagerly vying to get the 'Stacey' look and, luckily for them, the mother-of-five has never been shy about recommending her favourite fashion and beauty products. And her brand new skincare range - launched with REHAB Hair, which she co-owns - will no doubt give fans the chance to emulate her ageless glow. With Stacey looking more radiant than ever, here are some of the ways to emulate her flawless look, from her skincare secrets to her fitness regime. Skincare secrets Stacey's radiant skin is the envy of her followers as she often shows off her glowing complexion in her glamorous social media snaps. As well as launching her own clothing ranges with various stylish brands, Stacey has also become actively involved in the beauty industry. She pursued her first ever business venture by becoming a co-owner of REHAB Hair, which has now also expanded into skincare. She joined REHAB as a co-owner alongside Vicky Ellis and Anastasia Tozer and swears by the brand's products, keeping her skin looking radiant with the new range. Stacey has been proudly plugging REHAB's new Body Retreat collection - which has been two years in the making - on her Instagram in recent days and amazed fans with her radiant launch day appearance. The move has reimagined REHAB's best-selling capsule oils as a hydrating body oil while the collection also features a body brush, body wash sheets and body scrubs. Stacey has also previously sworn by L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renew Midnight Serum, which helps the skin to renew and rejuvenate overnight. Always recommending new products, Stacey has also shared her love for L'Oreal Paris' Revitalift Clinical Serum. Her luscious, glossy locks have also been long-admired by her fans, and she was plugging REHAB's products long before investing in the business. The brand's range of capsules aim to 'reinvigorate tired hair to its full glossy potential', according to the brand's website. Stacey then became part-owner of the independent hair care brand back in September 2023, marking her first ever investment. Exercise regime As part of her 2025 New Year's resolutions, Stacey shared her goals to embrace a healthier lifestyle. She revealed she had forked out on some brand new gym gear in a bid to motivate herself to keep fit, and asked her fans to help hold her 'accountable' as she shared her journey. The Loose Women star shared a snap of her perfectly organised workout clothes in a whole host of colours and wrote: 'Gym drawers - done.' 'Now to put these pretty colours to use, tomorrow morning before the kids get up. I'm going for my first run of 2025. I've said it now I have to commit,' she continued. 'Happy Sunday. I got up and went for a run. Proud of me. But also counting on you guys to hold me acceptable.' Stacey also keeps fit with the help of her sister Samantha Stone, who works as a personal trainer at fitness club Barry's UK and an ambassador for Nike Training Club Stacey also keeps fit with the help of her sister Samantha Stone, who works as a personal trainer at fitness club Barry's UK and an ambassador for Nike Training Club. While her other sibling Jemma regularly appears on her social media and even featured in Stacey's BBC reality show, Samantha enjoys a life away from the spotlight. However, Samantha very occasionally features in Stacey's gym content on her Instagram page and helps to keep the TV star in top shape. Back in 2023, Stacey praised her sister for helping to 'motivate' her and feel 'better' in herself as she admitted she finds it 'so hard' to do by herself. Alongside a snap of her lifting weights, she wrote: 'I'll be honest I find everything so hard. But I've got so much better and stronger and I'm so proud of the fact that even though I genuinely do not get excited to start exercising I do it. For myself. 'And so grateful my sister fills me with motivation. I have the craziest work, family schedule atm and honestly it's given me so much energy. 'I feel so much better in myself. I don't care what I look like. It's never bothered me and I love my body and all it's done for me. 'I just wanted to feel good and get my energy back and showing up and exercising is doing that for me.' Nutrition Stacey and her husband Joe Swash are both passionate about their cooking and often appear in videos together showing off their family recipes. Cooking for her five children can sometimes be a challenge, and Stacey is a champion of quick and easy dishes that are perfect for busy families. In fact, Stacey and Joe even partnered with HelloFresh back in 2022 for a string of adverts as they promoted healthy and balanced meals. Discussing Stacey's healthy lifestyle, a source also told Closer Magazine that she has cut down on white bread and pasta and loves snacking on blueberries and watermelon. 'Stacey's aware of what she's putting into her body, and she eats far less processed food as a rule,' they claimed. 'She also watches her salt and sugar levels too, as too much can make her bloat.' Stacey also has an iron deficiency and has long been an advocate for supplements, helping her to reach her nutrition goals. Body positivity While showing off her glamorous lifestyle, Stacey has always been committed to producing down-to-earth and relatable content for her followers. She often promotes body positivity on her Instagram platform and has repeatedly been praised by fans for candidly speaking about her body image. Last summer, Stacey was lauded by her followers for admitting she felt 'conscious' about the way she looked while sharing a bikini snap to social media. The mother-of-five admitted that she didn't feel very confident about her body after not being able to work out at the gym as much as last year, but defiantly noted that she still felt 'beautiful'. She penned: 'I haven't committed to the gym this year the way I was able to last year. I don't know why but for some reason I was conscious about it before coming away. I Worried people would notice (so silly I know as I usually don't even think about those things, but I felt a weird pressure). 'However looking back on pics from the beach yesterday I can see I'm still so beautiful. I look a little different from my last holiday but just as beautiful. 'Doing my everything to make sure my girls know how beautiful they are and don't measure their beauty against anyone else. And do the things they love because they make them feel good, not look a certain way.' Fans of Stacey were quick to share their support as they flooded the comments with compliments, noting that she was a role model for her daughters.
