The Red Arrows will join Cunard's Three
Ship Diamond Jubilee tribute to the Queen on Tuesday 5 June 2012. It
will be the first-ever Red Arrows display over Southampton.
In what is expected
to be the biggest celebration outside London over the extended bank
holiday weekend, all three ships of the Cunard fleet will sail up the
Solent in formation for the first time on the morning of 5 June, in
preparation for a day of special tributes, celebrations and displays
for the enjoyment of the ships’ passengers and residents of the city of
Southampton and beyond. This will be the first time the aerial display
team will have performed over Southampton with the action being focused
above the Marchwood area of the docks. The display will begin around
6pm and is expected to last almost 25 minutes.
