An extended military flypast will take place following the King’s first birthday parade after the display on coronation day had to be scaled down due to bad weather.
Around 70 aircraft from the Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force will take part in a flypast for Trooping the Colour on Saturday, marking the first birthday flypast for Charles.
The King, Queen and other members of the royal family are expected to watch as the aircraft fly over The Mall and Buckingham Palace in a six-minute display.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said the aircraft will take off from 15 locations up and down the UK before meeting in the south-east of England and flying across London.
Berkshire residents can expect the aerial display to head over at around 1:10pm - with reports stating some aircraft might be seen between 12:40pm and 1:30pm.
The flypast will be seen in parts of Northern England and East Anglia before passing over London and into Berkshire, Hampshire, Surrey and Dorset.
The event will feature a mix of aircraft, ranging from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight dating back to the 1940s and the C-130 Hercules on its final ceremonial flight to multiple Typhoon fighter jets and the Envoy IV CC1, which is making its flypast debut.
At the front of the flypast will be a Juno HT1 piloted by Flight Lieutenant Tom Knapp from 60 Squadron, No 1 Flying Training School based at RAF Shawbury.
The event will end in a show of red, white and blue from the pilots of the Red Arrows.
The MoD said many of the aircraft taking part in the flypast have been involved in operations around the world this year, including the Nato air policing mission in Eastern Europe and the evacuation of British citizens from Sudan.
King Charles will be joined on Saturday by the Queen and members of the royal family to view the 1st Battalion Welsh Guards Troop their Colour.
The annual event of Trooping of the Colour has marked the official birthday of the sovereign for more than 260 years.
More than 60 aircraft from the Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force had been due to take part in the coronation flypast in May but “unsuitable weather conditions” saw that plan abandoned.
Instead, helicopters from the three services and the Red Arrows took part in the display, which lasted for around two and a half minutes.
The MoD said the birthday flypast has been increased in size to pay tribute to the new monarch.
Air Officer Commanding 1 Group, Air Vice-Marshal Mark Flewin, said: “It is a great honour to be part of his majesty the King’s birthday celebrations, where the flypast is an opportunity for us to showcase formation, precision and excellence in the air to our Commander-in-Chief on such a special occasion.”
