alongside the Prince and Princess of Wales and their three children, George, Charlotte and Louis, as well as other serving members of the royal family.
A Ministry of Defence spokesperson told the PA news agency that the flypast has the potential to be disrupted by the weather. They said: “There are certain weather limits in terms of cloud base and visibility for a flypast involving a large number of aircraft which will need to be met. “The latest weather information will be obtained from both the Met Office and from our helicopters performing weather checks in advance of the main flypast on Saturday.If suitable, the flypast will continue as planned. If not, then there are options available to reduce the numbers of aircraft, with cancellation being the last resort.
“Clearly there are many things the MoD does control, but the weather is not one of them. Safety will always be our primary concern.” The final decision on whether the flypast will go ahead will be made by the RAF’s Air-Vice-Marshal Mark Flewin who is the Air Officer Commanding No 1 Group, otherwise known as the aircraft pilots.
