The RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight <\/a>will be performing a rare display over a popular flower and garden show this weekend.<\/p>\n

The historic aircrafts are scheduled to fly past the Belvoir Castle\u2019s Flower and Garden Show on both Saturday, July 11 and Sunday, July 12.<\/p>\n

Aircrafts like the Spitfire, Hurricane and Dakota planes will be taking to the sky subject to weather conditions,<\/a> to pay a tribute to the World War Two fleet and inspire future generations.<\/p>\n

Caylee Gutsell, events manager at Belvoir Castle, said: \u201cWe\u2019re honoured to welcome the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight display to this year\u2019s very special edition of the Flower and Garden Show.<\/a><\/p>\n

“Visitors to the show will have the best views of this incredible display which promises to be a memorable addition to the day.”<\/p>\n

The event is now in its ninth year and attracts thousands of visitors who share a passion for gardening, design, and the natural world.<\/p>\n

TV gardeners Adam Frost and David Domoney will also be returning to the show for the second year to share design insights, gardening tips and stories from their careers.<\/p>\n

There will also be live demonstrations, plants for sale, local artisans and question and answer sessions with talented horticulturalists.<\/p>\n

Andy Tudbury, head gardener at Belvoir Castle, said \u201cOver the last nine years, The Flower and Garden Show has gone from strength to strength, and it\u2019s been amazing to see it blooms into the full-family day out is today.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re so pleased that people travel from near and far to enjoy the show, whether they\u2019re keen gardeners or just want to make precious family memories.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event will be held on the Castle terrace, but visitors will have the opportunity to explore the gardens and grounds, including the rose gardens, which are home to a thousand English roses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Spitfires, Hurricanes and Dakota planes will be taking to the sky A photo of a Hurricane (bottom), a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":81036,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2],"tags":[2363,13,2447,6908,3251],"class_list":["post-81035","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-britain","tag-armed-forces","tag-britain","tag-family","tag-lincolnshire","tag-raf"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@UnitedKingdom\/116899912362316014","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81035","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=81035"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81035\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/81036"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=81035"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=81035"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=81035"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
