Where to watch the King's birthday flypast in Suffolk today
Here are the best places to watch the King's birthday flypast in Suffolk as it makes its way to London.
Although King Charles III's actual birthday is on November 14, the Sovereign's birthday is being celebrated today, June 14.
And to mark the occasion there will be a flypast of 34 aircraft, including the Red Arrows, with them entering formation off the Suffolk coast.
The best time to see them in east Suffolk is between 11am and 12.30pm, as they begin the journey to London.
As they come into Suffolk one of the best spots to see them will be on the beach at Aldeburgh or Thorpeness as this will be in the centre of the projected flight path.
Another great place to see the planes will be at Sutton Hoo nature reserve, as this is still central to the flight path, as it begins to follow the A12.
The interactive map bellow can be used to see the route of the flypast.
You will be able to see the flypast in Ipswich, with parks being to best place to be away from buildings that could block the view.
Just outside of Ipswich, near the Orwell Bridge, you can go to the viewpoint car park, which is in a wide open space to ensure the view is not interrupted.
Once the flypast passes over Ipswich, the planes and helicopters will travel along the A12 and leave Suffolk between 12.35pm.
Where it is safe to do so, viewing the flypast from bridges over the A12 is possible where there are footpaths, although due care must be exercised.
