The event will take place over the skies of Lewes between 2.45pm and 3.30pm.

The Battle of Britain Memorial Flights provide an aerial display at events commemorating the Second World War and on occasions, such as Trooping the Colour.

They performed an aerial display in 2006 as part of the Queen’s 80th birthday celebrations, as well as at the wedding of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Catherine Middleton in 2011.

The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight operates out of RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire.
