Snaps from the day: 4am start time with a stunning view, sunrise over the Tower of London, meeting BBC weather Carol and seeing crowds gathering from London Bridge to Southbank to come watch HMS Belfast fire her guns for DDay 80. One of the best days ever.
Parachutists prepare to load onto Douglas C47 Dakota’s during the IWM Duxford Summer Air Show as they fly to Cherbourg to continue commemorations for the D-Day 80th anniversary
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Today also marks 86 years since HMS Belfast was commissioned on 17 March 1938.
This year we were pleased to welcome the @IrishGuardsBand onboard for a very special performance.

A record breaking weekend at this year’s Battle of Britain Air Show meant atmospheric mornings, sleepy eyed poses, over 60 different vintage and contemporary aircraft, and a few amazing live broadcasts🎉 @I_W_M I’ll be sleeping the next few days to recover
This is your sign to explore the secret underground headquarters where Winston Churchill and his team directed the course of the Second World War. You can easily spend an afternoon discovering London’s fascinating history. @I_W_M#LetsDoLondon#VisitLondon
