Tom Cruise has been in Gloucetershire to mark the 75th anniversary of the US Air Force.

The Top Gun star was watching the displays at the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford yesterday - wearing his trademark aviator sunglasses.

Paul Atherton, chief executive of the RAF Charitable Trust Enterprises, said: "Tom's visit is something we've been trying really hard to keep under wraps, but keeping secrets like that is hard when they're so exciting."

Also visiting the Tattoo yesterday were British astronaut Tim Peake, and Apollo 16 lunar module pilot Colonel Charles M. Duke Jr.
