With flips and spins, twists and turns - not to mention their famous coloured smoke - all performed in perfect formation, the crew put on a display to be proud of.

It was the perfect evening for it, with the Cornish sunshine shining in a cornflower blue sky.

Watching from Carbis Bay, just like the public, were presidents, prime ministers and chancellors from around the world.
