The Red Arrows, officially known as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, enjoyed a two-night stay at the Grand Hotel on the South Promenade in Lytham St. Anne’s. A hotel spokesperson said: ‘As ever, they are gracious in posing for pictures with our guests and staff.’  There was even a stunning flypast over the Hotel to the delight of the many onlookers.

Meanwhile, The Officer Commanding of the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team found the best vantage point for the Red Arrows’ Blackpool Display – 518ft in the air, at the top of Blackpool Tower! (see picture below)
