Organisers of Margate’s Big Event have described the weekend’s extravaganza as the biggest and best ever.
Crowds of more than 60,000 flocked to Palm Bay on Saturday and Sunday for Kent’s leading air and land festival.
Families gazed into the skies above the cliff tops to catch a glimpse of amazing aircraft including the famous Red Arrows, the RAF’s latest Eurofighter Typhoon jet and the historic Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.
Entertainers kept the packed showground amused, with circus teams, jugglers, acrobats and human statues all making an appearance over the two days.
