The King, Kate, William, Charlotte, Louis and George took pride of place in a slimmed-down group of royals as they watched a magnificent 70-aircraft flypast.

As the planes zoomed overhead Kate encouraged Prince George to wave to the crowds as she smoothed down Prince Louis’ hair and urged him to face the spectators.

King Charles saddled up to become the first monarch in more than 30 years to take part in the ceremony as his official birthday parade. One of the main highlights of the flypast saw 18 Typhoon fighter jets spelling out the King’s monogram ‘CR’ – short for Charles Rex.
