RAF's Red Arrows paint the skies over Montreal as Maple Hawk tour nears its end
The Red Arrows have performed a series of colourful flypasts in Montreal as part of their tour of Canada.
The team flew over the Old Port of Montreal on the St Lawrence River, painting the sky with red and white vapour trails - the colours of the Canadian flag.
The RAF's aerobatic team are marking 60 years in the skies in 2024 and have been in Canada at the invitation of the Royal Canadian Air Force, which is celebrating its centenary.

Based at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire, the Red Arrows have also flown over Niagara Falls, as well as taken part in displays at the Air Show Atlantic in Nova Scotia as part of their five-week Maple Hawk tour.
The Reds first took to the skies in 1964 and have marked their Diamond Season with a special series of aerial displays.
To celebrate this milestone, they've also reintroduced the nine-aircraft formation which is shaped like a diamond, befitting for the name of the season.
Each year the team brings fresh choreography, and this season's routines have wowed crowds across Canada.
The next stop for Maple Hawk is St John's Harbour, Newfoundland, but, as always, the flyover and aerial display is subject to change because of the weather.
