Pictures of Red Arrows over Clitheroe and Blackpool Air Show

On Saturday (August 12), the aerial display team flew over Clitheroe Food Festival, which was attended by many people despite the wet weather.

People have since been sharing pictures of the flyover to social media and the Lancashire Telegraph’s camera club Facebook page.

The fleet of planes were spotted over Clitheroe, Pendle Hill and beyond.

The Red Devils were formed in 1964 to boost public engagement and recruitment for the British Army.

After training with the US Armed Forces’ parachute display team, the Golden Knights, the first Red Devils team was formed.

They became the official parachute display team of the British Army in 1979.

Parachute display team, The Red Devils, also performed at the show alongside the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, and RAF Typhoon across both days.

Nicola Hopkins, Ribble Valley council's director of economic development and planning, said: “The Red Arrows are one of the most celebrated aerobatic display teams in the world and a flyover by them, as the food festival gets into full swing, will be a fantastic spectacle.

“The Red Arrows last flew over Clitheroe in 2017 and we are honoured that they have chosen to fly over our town again.”
