The Red Arrows and Fireworks 5th June Southampton

Posted by Lizzie Neville on May 16, 2012 0 Comments

Very excited to pass on the news that The Red Arrows will join Cunard's Three Ship Diamond Jubilee tribute to the Queen on Tuesday 5 June 2012, in what will be the first-ever Red Arrows display over Southampton.

Expected to be the biggest celebration outside London over the extended bank holiday weekend, all three ships of the Cunard fleet will sail up the Solent in formation for the first time on the morning of 5 June, in preparation for a day of special tributes, celebrations and displays for the enjoyment of the ships’ passengers and residents of the city of Southampton and beyond. This will be the first time the aerial display team will have performed over Southampton.  The display will begin around 6pm.

After the Red Arrows as darkness falls, the celebrations will culminate in an evening spectacular where all three ships will be brought within close proximity of each other, and a fusillade of fireworks and special effects will light up the evening sky beyond them. Queen Mary 2 will then lead Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth in single file down the Solent as all three ships set out on their celebratory Diamond Jubilee voyages.

If you are planning to be there let us know, all of the Stealth Fireworks Team will definitely be there, it’s certainly not an evening to be missed!
