You'll want to watch the skies across Cornwall this evening, for a special fly-past by the Red Arrows.

The famous red jets will soar across Carbis Bay on Saturday, on day two of the G7 Summit.

World leaders will be treated to the special show after enjoying a BBQ on the beach.

Sirloin and scallops and a special Beach Hut Sundae were on the menu for Prime Minister Boris Johnson, President Joe Biden and their G7 cohorts, followed by toasted marshmallows and buttered rum!

They have already carried out one engagement today, to celebrate Her Majesty the Queen's official birthday.

The Red Arrows' fly-past in Cornwall will take place at 7.30pm on Saturday 12th June.

It will be the first time the Arrows have appeared in the Duchy since 2018.

Devon & Cornwall Police have issued an appeal to those wanting to watch the jets, to do so from home.

"It’s been announced that the Red Arrows are putting on a fly-by over the G7 Summit this weekend. It will be their first appearance in Cornwall for some time, and we know it is something many people will want to watch.

"To keep everyone safe, we ask that those living in and around Carbis Bay to watch from their homes or gardens.

"People will struggle to remain socially distanced if gathering in large crowds.

"We appreciate it might be tempting to drive to Carbis Bay or the surrounding area but remind you that there are many restrictions in place, including road and public footpath closures.

"We urge you - don’t come, watch from home!".
