The first day of the 2015 Bournemouth Air Festival may have never got off the ground but today is looking far more promising.
Low cloud meant all displays were called-off on Thursday for the first time since 2011, but today's forecast is looking brighter and we're keeping our fingers' crossed for a better day.
If you're planning on heading down to the seafront to witness all the action, you can find out what's happening below.
