VE Day 80: Royal Family watch Red Arrows flypast from Buckingham Palace balcony

The King and Queen appeared on the Buckingham Palace balcony today to mark VE Day 80 celebrations.

They were joined by their grandchildren from the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis stood alongside Their Majesties to watch the spectacular flypast over central London.

The spectacular flypast roared over Buckingham Palace, creating a memorable five-minute display over central London.

The carefully choreographed event brought together aircraft from RAF bases across the country.

The planes joined holding patterns over south east England before forming up for the final approach over the palace.

The impressive aerial display featured F-35M Lightning jets and Typhoons thundering over London.

A historic Lancaster bomber, one of the most famous heavy bombers used in the Second World War, also took part in the flypast.

The Red Arrows provided the finale, leaving their distinctive vapour trails across the London sky.

Prince George, 11, is the eldest of the three children and has been spotted following his football team Aston Villa in Europe with his father this season.

Princess Charlotte recently celebrated her 10th birthday, with her parents sharing a photo from a trip to Cumbria earlier in the year.

Seven-year-old Prince Louis is remembered for stealing the show with his mischievous faces during Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee balcony appearance.
