Hundreds of people were watching the skies above Haworth today as the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight put on a spectacular show.

The RAF flew the official AVRO Lancaster bomber PA474 and a Spitfire over the crowds at Haworth 1940's weekend.

The fighter aircrafts were flown over Haworth by regular RAF crew at under 1000ft.

It comes ahead of another flyover on Sunday when the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight takes to the skies in a Hurricane.

People can watch the Hurricane fly over Haworth between 1pm and 2pm on Sunday, May 22, though times are dependent on the weather.

The Second World War era AVRO Lancaster bomber is one of only two Lancasters in flying condition in the world.

The other remaining Lancaster is owned and flown by the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum.

Meanwhile the iconic Spitfire is a well known symbol of Britain's defence strategy during World War Two.

The aircraft was used by the Royal Air Force and other Allied countries before, during and after World War II. 

Haworth 1940s Weekend is a two day event which sees the village taken back in time.

The streets are filled with decorations, stalls and dancing while you can enjoy re-enactments along Main Street and the park.

People are advised to bring cash to the event.

The annual event has proved as popular as ever in 2022.

From quirky hats to flight gear, people have turned out in their best 1940s inspired outfits for the occasion.

The streets are filled with Call The Midwife-esque nurses, 1940s dresses with petticoats, historically accurate army gear and land girls.

Some people even styled themselves with rollers tucked under hair scarves, vintage floral aprons and fake cigarettes in their mouths.

Flag bunting can be seen all around while little features such as air raid posters allude to the time.

The village green is also filled with stalls and fairground rides. 

The celebrations continue into Sunday, May 22.
