More than 25 vintage Second World War planes – including Dakotas and Spitfires – appeared across the skyline shortly after 5pm today – a little later than scheduled after taking off from Duxford airfield in Cambridgeshire for the 75th anniversary of the D Day landings.

Thousands of people parked at Beachy Head, Butts Brow and along the seafront to watch the historic flypast as the planes headed out towards the Channel for Normandy.
