The Red Arrows and Patrouille De France perform a flyby to mark the 80th anniversary of the French Resistance speech.

Footage from Thursday (June 18) shows the red, white, and blue smoke spectacle over London, UK.

Tony Stone, the filmer, told Newsflare: "It was a fantastic sight to see the planes flying over London's iconic buildings."

The squadrons flew over Buckingham Palace at 5 pm when Prince Charles welcomed Macron to commemorate Charles de Gaulle's appeal following the German invasion of France.

The Royal Air Force Red Arrows always distribute their colours as red, white and blue to reflect the UK flag, and it is a tradition amongst the LA Patrouille acrobatic De France, which is the equivalent of the French Air Force that they show, blue, white and red which are the colours which go right back to the French Revolution of 1789, and have been very much the identity of how France marks its freedom.
