Large military aircraft flypast over central London

Upwards of 100 military aircraft are due to join a huge flypast over central London on Tuesday.

The flypast is expected to form up over Essex before heading over East London as they line up to pass over The Mall and Buckingham Palace.

The flypast will then disperse, with planes and helicopters heading over other military bases around West London and the Home Counties.

As there will be a mass parade along the Mall by thousands of servicemen and women, the Mall itself is expected to be sealed off. Fortunately, a flypast is a pretty easy thing to see from the distance, and anywhere along the route within the City or East London is going to get the full flypast experience.

If you’re cunning, maybe book tickets to be at the top of The Shard, or other suitable high locations around London on the day.
