A map of the flypast route shows areas around Dartford, Swanley and Sevenoaks should offer good views.

The flypast will start between 11.45 and 1pm in the vicinity of The Wash, The North Sea and Southwold, Suffolk and Southend, then pass Swaffham and Thetford and Colchester towards London to fly over Buckingham Palace.

The aircraft will then disperse south and west of London, flying over Kent, Surrey, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire.

Rehearsals were held over eastern England in May.

Details of what aircraft are due to join the flypast have been revealed including Apache helicopters, Typhoons and The Red Arrows.

The Ministry of Defence has said that more than 70 aircraft will take part including those used by the UK Armed Forces on operations around the world,

It will take six minutes to fly over the crowds in London where the Queen is expected to join other members of the Royal Family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.

They flypast is expected to include more than three times the number of aircraft which took part in the Queen’s last birthday parade flypast in central London in 2019.
