Jersey and Guernsey will host their annual airshows today.

This afternoon (9 September), the skies above the Channel Islands will be alive with the sights and sounds of aircrafts from across the generations, watched by thousands of people on the seafronts of St Helier and St Peter Port.

The Red Arrows display team will be returning, alongside the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

Guernsey's event is being held in memory of Michael Perrett, who died in July 2021. He was a long-time supporter of the Air Display over many years. He also served as Chairman of the Air Display Consortium.

The annual Meet The Pilots event, which allows islanders to get up close to the aircrafts involved in the display, has been cancelled due to the current weather forecast and "unforeseen operational commitments".
