The Battle of Britain Memorial Flypast is not coming to the Isle of Wight Festival after all.

The listing has been removed from the RAF displays website.

It had been scheduled for tomorrow (Friday).

Flying is subject to weather and aircraft serviceability, but no reason has been given for the cancellation.

The display team is flying at Duxford Summer Airshow on Saturday.

Festival-goers will still be entertained by the Red Arrows however, who are flying over at 6pm tomorrow (Friday).

Starting today (Thursday) and running through to Sunday (June 19), Lewis Capaldi, Tom Grennan, Kasabian, Muse, Pete Tong and The Proclaimers are among the acts performing at Seaclose Park.
