A Red Arrows pilot died when his plane crashed following an air show in England.
Flight Lieutenant Jon Egging's Hawk T1 aircraft plunged to the ground near Bournemouth Airport in Dorset at 1.50pm.
Eyewitnesses saw the plane flying low before smashing into a field and coming to a standstill with its nose in the River Stour near the village of Throop.
The Red Arrows first started performing their gravity-defying aerobatic displays in 1965 after the RAF combined its many regionalised teams.
Since then, they have dazzled audiences around the world in well over 4,000 displays in more than 50 countries.
Formally known as Britain's Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team (RAFAT), the team's Red Arrows nickname was chosen as a combination of two previous teams, the Black Arrows and the Red Pelicans.
The team is now based at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire, but its original home was at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire.
During its inaugural season, the team used seven aircraft in the 65 displays across Europe.
The famous coloured smoke is generated by a system that pumps diesel mixed with dye into the jet exhaust to produce the colourful vapour trails.
They are mainly used for flight safety reasons so the pilots can judge wind speed and direction whilst performing their displays, but the visual effects look spectacular to observers on the ground.
Each aircraft can carry enough diesel and dye to create five minutes of white smoke, one minute of red and one minute of blue during the display.
