Eastbourne Airbourne 2024: Thousands to watch air show this weekend

The popular air show will take over the South coast skies around Western Lawns on Saturday and Sunday as revellers head to the town to catch a glimpse of some of the planes in the sky.

The 30th anniversary of the show this year kicked off with a soaring performance from the Red Arrows while dozens of other planes took to the skies to wow show-goers on Thursday and Friday.
