The Red Arrows usually also make an appearance at the Rhyl Airshow which takes place in August.
But the 2024 instalment of the Rhyl Airshow was cancelled after it was revealed the Red Arrows were unable to attend due to other commitments as part of their 60th season anniversary international tour.
The Red Arrows are set to be in Canada in August around the time the award winning North Wales airshow would usually take place.
