Red Arrows, Frecce Tricolori Flyover Honors King Charles in Rome

King Charles III and Queen Camilla received a grand welcome in Italy during their state visit, highlighted by a spectacular flyover from the UK's Red Arrows and Italy's Frecce Tricolori on April 8, 2025. The ceremonial event took place at the Quirinale Palace in Rome, where the royal couple met President Sergio Mattarella and his daughter. The display featured nine British jets and seven Italian jets, trailing the national colors of both countries across the sky. Following the flypast, the King laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and visited the Coliseum. The visit aims to strengthen ties between the UK and Italy, although a planned meeting with the Pope was canceled due to the latter's health issues. The royal couple's trip also marks their 20th wedding anniversary.
