TICKETS go on sale this week for a special concert to celebrate the 50th anniversary of one of the UK’s greatest national icons – the Red Arrows.

The RAF in Concert tour returns to Lighthouse Poole on December 12 with a programme of music to match the colour, flamboyance and entertainment provided by the world’s most exciting aerobatic display team during the past five decades.

From rousing military marches to memorable musical moments from the stage and screen, the Band of the Royal Air Force will serve up a feast of timeless classics.

The event is compered by BBC Radio 2’s Alan Dedicoat.
