Senior Royals, including The King, Queen Camilla, and the Prince and Princess of Wales watched on in delight from the balcony as the aircraft whizzed over the palace.

As ever the Wales children - especially Prince Louis - delighted fans with their animated facial expressions and sweet waves.

The video shared by SWNS shows the view from inside the cockpit of a Typhoon, which jetted over London alongside the Red Arrows and other military aircraft, including a Lancaster Bomber.

The flypast came as part of a programme of events in London, to commemorate the 80th anniversary of VE (Victory in Europe) Day.
