The King and Queen appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to watch a scaled-back flypast after their historic crowning ceremony.

The flypast to mark the Coronation was due to involve more than 60 aircraft from the Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force flying over The Mall in central London.
