Thousands are expected to line the promenade to watch the annual spectacle.

The magnificent Red Arrows will perform a display, along with the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and the Breitling wing-walkers.

The displays take place in skies between North and Central Pier and over Tower Festival Headland and the tower itself.

Spectators are expected to line the promenade along the whole of that route, which spans around half a mile.

The Red Arrows will be doing their display at 2pm on Saturday and 2pm on Sunday.
