One of Weymouth Carnival's most popular events has been cancelled.

The Memorial Battle of Britain Flight will no longer take place due to a technical fault.

The flight was due to take place at 3pm in the skies above Weymouth.

A spokesman from Weymouth Carnival said: "The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight have informed us that they have identified a technical defect with one of the aircraft, which has lead them to ground all three aircraft. This unfortunately means the BBMF will not be able to display for us today."

Despite the cancellation, the Red Arrow display will continue at 5.30pm.
