The Coronation flypast has been scaled back due to the poor weather conditions in London. Only the helicopters and The Red Arrows acrobatic team are to take part in the display for the newly-crowned King and Queen, as rain pours down on the British capital this Saturday (06.05.23). More than 60 aircraft from the Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force were meant to take part, all flying in different formations. King Charles and Queen Camilla are still expected to view the display from the balcony of Buckingham Palace with senior members of the Royal Family. "Under the cloud and rain, temperatures will be subdued with 16 degrees in London, whilst 20 degrees is likely in sunnier northwest Scotland.”The coronation flypast follows the coronation service at Westminster Abbey and the grand procession back to Buckingham Palace and The Royal Salute.
