Skies across Suffolk were filled with the roar of military aircraft in celebration of the King.
Aircraft soared above the county as part of a flypast marking Trooping the Colour, the King’s official birthday parade.
Although King Charles III's actual birthday is on November 14, the Sovereign's birthday is celebrated on Saturday, June 13.
The display featured the Red Arrows , Chinook, Phenom, A400M Atlas, C-17 Globemaster, Voyager, Typhoon, Poseidon and F-35B Lightning jets.

The route took them across the Suffolk coast and over Lowestoft, Beccles, Southwold, Leiston, Aldeburgh and Ipswich, delighting residents and visitors who captured the spectacle on camera and shared their excitement online.
These pictures of the aircraft were taken by Julie Kemp as they passed over Waldringfield Heath.
Also watching from London were the Princess of Wales and her children, who joined the Queen and thousands of spectators at Horse Guards Parade in Whitehall.
Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis watched their grandfather from the first-floor window of the Duke of Wellington’s former office overlooking the parade ground in central London.
Trooping the Colour is both a ceremonial and social event, with around 8,000 family members of guards and officers filling the stands around Horse Guards Parade.

Crowds lined The Mall to watch the royal family’s carriage procession, with the King and Queen at its centre, escorted by the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment.
The royals were followed by the royal colonels: the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal and the Duke of Edinburgh, each representing their regiments.
Kate, Colonel of the Irish Guards, stood alongside the King and Queen on the royal dais, while Camilla took her place as Colonel of the Grenadier Guards.
The King inspected the troops dressed in the uniform of the Grenadier Guards, who were trooping their colour this year.
The flypast was the grand finale of a day filled with tradition and tribute, visible not only to London crowds but to those watching from fields and gardens across Suffolk.
