All eyes will be turned to the skies today when a four-engined Hercules Transporter aircraft makes a low level fly past over Exeter to mark the start of the Freedom of the City ceremony for RAF Brize Norton. Over 100 serving Airmen from RAF Brize Norton, accompanied by the Band of the RAF Regiment, will be marching through Exeter city centre before stopping at the junction of Bedford Street and the High Street where they will be inspected by the Lord Mayor of Exeter, Councillor Rachel Lyons, the Lord Lieutenant of Devon, Sir Eric Dancer, and the Base Commander, Group Captain Eddie Cole. After a short ceremony where the Lord Mayor will hand over the Freedom of the City scroll, the Airmen will fix bayonets to their rifles, unfurl their colours and prepare to march off.
