Really disappointingly we have been told the entire Battle of Britain flight has been grounded due to technical issues - which means no Lancaster flypast. There are still lots of other things going on, so don't let it put you off coming to Sunday's show

Tune in to @BBCLeicester this afternoon - @9amben will be chatting to Show Director Matt Trembath about this year's show..... due on air around 3.20pm
