On July 14 1942, Harwich played host to a number of events to mark 14 July – the day on which France celebrates its freedoms and origin of the French republic. Even in the Second World War, time was found to celebrate and French sailors took part a 24 mile bike race and an open air dance. #QuatorzeJuillet #BastilleDay © IWM (A 10632) © IWM (A 10630)
Today, 100 days after the official 100th birthday of the RAF, the #RAF100 flypast will take to the skies above central London. To coincide with the celebrations, we’re sharing images of spectacular flypasts from our collections.
