What time is the RAF Red Arrows flypast in Edinburgh for King Charles tomorrow?

King Charles and Queen Camilla will this week be paying a visit to Scotland to further mark their Coronation celebrations with a range of events set to take place.

The royal pair are set to arrive in Edinburgh on July 5 for their Scottish Coronation, and it'll be the first time that the King has visited Scotland since he was officially crowned back in May this year.

To celebrate, the people of the capital will be treated to a special Red Arrows flyover that will round off the day of royal events including a procession and a service of Thanksgiving and Dedication.

So if you want to catch a glimpse of the spectacular airshow on Wednesday, July 5, here's everything you need to know.

What time is the Red Arrows flyover?

To celebrate Scottish Royals Week, the King and Queen will be welcomed to Edinburgh with a string of special events that will be concluded with a Red Arrows display.

The pair will be presented with the Honours of Scotland, which are the oldest Crown Jewels in Britain, at a National Service of Thanksgiving and Dedication at St Giles’ Cathedral.

It will then be followed by a people's procession along the iconic Royal Mile.

After the service ends, which is expected to be 3.15pm, the King and Queen will leave St Giles and a 21-Gun Salute will fire from Edinburgh Castle before the Royal Procession travels back to the Palace of Holyroodhouse.

The flypast by the Red Arrows is scheduled to take place at 3.40pm on Wednesday, July 5.

How to watch

Spectators are welcome to go along and watch the events unfold in person along the Royal Mile, although people are warned that public transport will be busier than normal so it's vital to plan your route carefully.

Journeys are expected to take longer than they normally would due to road closures, and more information on this can be found on the Edinburgh Council website.

For those who can't make it in person, you can watch the celebrations on BBC One where it will be broadcast live from 1.30pm.

You can also listen to the National Service of Dedication and Thanksgiving on BBC Radio 3.
