RAF100 10th July Parade and Flypast in central London

The 10th July RAF100 celebrations held in central London are now over and what a success it was. The day started in Westminster Abbey, then followed a parade down the Mall and it all finished off with a unbelievable flypast over Buckingham Palace with over 100 iconic aircraft used in the RAF - including the brand new Lightning

It was a momentous day a once in a lifetime experience. It was incredible to see the dedication and respect our people show towards the Royal Air Force and our continual efforts to protect and serve our nation. The passion and respect the general public showed on that day was magnificent, over 70,000 of you filled the Mall to the brim showing your support waving flags and cheering as the parade went on and soon after over 100 of our aircraft filled the sky. 

If you missed out on the day you can see the videos and images captured that day.
