Residents in Ryde are in for a treat this afternoon as the Red Arrows take part in D-Day commemorations across the Solent.
As part of a commemorative service on Southsea Common which starts at noon, the Royal Air Force aerobatic team will be performing over Southsea Common at 2pm.
You should just about be able to see the 20+ minute display from Ryde, but if you want to get closer to the action, you might want to head over to Southsea.
Naval displays and evening concert
If you do make it over to Southsea from midday you’ll be able to see “a spectacular amphibious assault landing on Southsea seafront by the Royal Marines and Royal Navy demonstrating some of the capabilities of the current armed forces”.
There’s more on offer later in the day with a ‘Sunset Concert for Heroes, from 7.30pm. The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra have created a special show will they’ll play to D-Day veterans and their families.
