In pictures: Red Arrows thrill crowds at Blackpool Air Show and Edinburgh Royal Military Tattoo

The Red Arrows made a spectacular appearance on both days of this year's Blackpool Air Show and helped Edinburgh's Royal Military Tattoo mark its 75th birthday.

Painting the skies with their trademark red, white and blue vapour trails, the red jets wowed the crowds at both events against the backdrop of two iconic UK landmarks – Edinburgh Castle and Blackpool Tower.

The venerated Royal Air Force aerobatic team kicked off their display season in May for VE Day celebrations and have already visited Greece and Spain, with plenty more display dates in the UK and abroad before October – see their flying schedule here.
