The King's Coronation flypast may be postponed or cancelled entirely due to low clouds, according to the RAF.

Forecasters' warning that the event's weather is "touch and go" forced the RAF to create backup plans.

The pilots require a cloud base of at least 1,600 feet or higher and a visibility of 5 kilometers for the whole flypast of about 70 aircraft.

No matter how competent we are, we cannot control the weather, according to an RAF source. We might have to postpone.

Around half of the aircraft, including the Red Arrows, helicopters, and a Lancaster bomber, would participate in the scaled-back flypast.
