Platinum Jubilee: RAF aircraft rehearse Buckingham Palace flypast

The RAF has rehearsed the flypast for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee over Lincolnshire.

RAF Cranwell, near Sleaford, stood in for Buckingham Palace as a number of aeroplanes and helicopters roared overhead in formation.

Gp Capt Mike Baulkwill said the rehearsal was essential to "make sure it's safe and it looks good".

Around 70 aircraft will take to the skies above London on 2 June.
