On 10 July 2018, 100 days after its 100th birthday, the Royal Air Force celebrated its centenary year with an incredible parade and flypast over London. Over a thousand servicemen and women took part in the incredible parade on The Mall while Her Majesty The Queen, accompanied by The Prince of Wales, presented a new Queen's Colour to the RAF at a ceremony marking its centenary. The historic flypast took place over the Mall at Buckingham Palace where both members of the Royal Family and members of the public witnessed up to 100 aircraft representing the RAF’s long and enduring history. Just a few of the aircraft that took park in the special day included the Lancaster, the Hurricane, the Voyager, the Tornado GR4, and an incredible finale by the Red Arrows.

We continued the celebrations throughout the day at the Royal Air Force Club, welcoming many members back afterwards for some celebratory food and drink, while the Club also adorned an abundance of RAF100 flags, bunting and other decorations.
