Since the team's creation in 1965 the Red Arrows have flown over 4,000 displays in 53 countries.

Event director Susan Tanner said: "Virtually every event in the world would love to have the Red Arrows appearing and I am delighted that they have chosen the Fiesta as it celebrates its thirtieth anniversary.
