Here is everything you need to know ahead of the Red Arrows flypast over the Harrogate district this afternoon

The first Red Arrows display of the year will take place today, with six of the iconic planes flying over Yorkshire and Lincolnshire this afternoon.

What are the Red Arrows?

The Red Arrows, officially known as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, is the aerobatics display team of the Royal Air Force based at RAF Scampton.

Formed in 1964, their flypasts have become must-see events, and the displays often grace major national commemorations.

They are currently based at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire, but will be relocated to RAF Waddington later this year.

Where can I see the Red Arrows fly over the Harrogate district today?

The Red Arrows have published a full schedule for when they will be flying over Yorkshire on the Military Airshows website, along with a map of the route.

But you will have to be quick to see them in action, as they will only be in the air for a little over 30 minutes, as they make the journey from Lincolnshire to North Yorkshire and back again.
