Southport Air Show returned this weekend with huge crowds returning to the beautiful Sefton coast for a weekend of fun and incredible flying displays.
The annual event kicked off on Saturday morning (September 9) with a fantastic line up of displays and activities for the whole family.
Sadly, the Red Arrows cancelled their display due to unsuitable weather conditions, however, aviation fans still got to see the iconic display team during a flypast on Saturday afternoon.
Here are 25 fantastic photos from the first day of Southport Air Show, featuring the RAF Chinook and Battle of Britain.
