The 31 aircraft flyover left a trail of red, white and blue smoke \u2014 a show of colour from the pilots of the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows.<\/p>\n

The aircraft of the armed forces have a long and proud history of taking part in the occasion, with the first King’s Birthday fly-past taking place in 1913.<\/p>\n

Among the supporters, protesters from the Not My King movement attempted to disrupt the event.<\/p>\n

Demonstrators chanted “not my king” and “down with the crown” while holding pictures of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who was stripped of his royal titles by King Charles.<\/p>\n
