A sneak peek before the Queen's Birthday

Tweet

On Friday we were treated to an unexpected pleasure. I noticed a cloud of white smoke in the sky in the shape of a heart. After a moment or two Red Arrows burst across the sky trailing red white and blue smoke behind them as they then gave us a wonderful display of aerobatics. They come to Greece to practice quite regularly in a sky that is almost always guaranteed to be cloudless and this time they were preparing for the Queen's Birthday. They seemed to be trying to put an arrow of smoke through the heart but didn't quite make it but no doubt it will be perfected for the big day over the skies above Buckingham Palace shortly.
