The main event was happening in London and for die-hard royal fans from our region it was an event they simply couldn't miss.

Many people from across the region had travelled to London to see the event close up. Helen Steel was there to meet some of them.


The weather cast a shadow of doubt over whether there would be a Coronation flypast - but much to the delight of crowds in the capital and those watching at home the Lincolnshire based Red Arrows painted the grey sky over Buckingham Palace - red, white and blue.

It was a scaled down operation due to the bad weather, formed of helicopters, followed by the nine red arrow jets who flew there from their base at RAF Waddington.
