Crowds have been building up at a Shropshire air base in the hours before one of the biggest air shows in the country.
A massive 50,000 visitors are expected to attend the RAF Cosford Air Show today with flying due to start at 11.30am.
Children and young people were among the excited early arrivals, queuing to sit in cockpits, and get excited about all man-made things with wings. Air cadets were out in great numbers too, including representatives of 1165 squadron. They were there just to enjoy the day out and to take it all in for what could turn out to be careers in the service.
Among those arriving early were locals who decided to get inside the operational air base as soon as they could. One spoke of being in a three-hour queue last year and did not want to repeat that experience. Tribute singer Rich Hazlewood was among the array of entertainers. He's a tribute act for Frank Sinatra and Bobby Darin. From Leek, in Staffordshire, he travels around the country in bands as an in-costume tribute act.Colin Bourdiec and Gary Walker also tour the country as wartime singers Flanagan and Allen and George Formby, as well as being a mean Captain Mainwaring-Corporal Jones Dads' Army combo.
