They were treated to a low pass by a Royal Navy-operated Hawk fighter plane.

The aircraft, which is the same model used by the RAF's Red Arrows display team, came from RAF Leeming.

The Navy uses Hawks in a support and training role as part of simulated combat exercises involving ships of the fleet.
