It was the Red Arrows' first visit to Jersey since 2018.

The team also met 10-year-old Harry de Gruchy-Wilson during their time on-island.

Crowds were spread across West Park and Victoria Avenue to enjoy the island's first major event since most of the remaining coronavirus restrictions were lifted two weeks ago.

Other highlights of this year's show included the Chinook, Yak-3, Starlings, RAF Typhoon, and RR Spitfire.
