Tim and his family have travelled from Leicester for the event
“It’s important to bring him and her and show them what’s going on,” Tim from Leicester tells me, pointing at his two young children.
He says that for him, the Royal Family means a lot, and he is glad he can see them today.
“Historically, they are very important to us,” he says. “It’s much better than having a president.”

Owen came with his family from Hertfordshire – he’s most excited for the flypast
Meanwhile, Owen’s family from Hertfordshire have also brought him all the way to Buckingham Palace for the event.
He tells me he is a “big fan” of the Royal Family, but his heart also soars for aviation.
“I like Spitfires and Lancaster bombers,” he says.
The moment he is most looking forward to – no surprises here – is when the Royal Family appears on the balcony for the flypast.
