The Red Arrows cannot fly into Weymouth as planned due to rain and cloud

The RAF Red Arrows and a Battle of Britain memorial display at Weymouth Carnival have been cancelled due to bad weather.

Described as a highlight of the carnival, they were due to fly over for the festivities in the afternoon.

Rain and cloud have made conditions unsafe for the display teams in Dorset.

Organisers said they were "extremely upset" but said all other activities were unaffected, including a carnival procession.
