Our fitting tribute to the RAF London famous '70' flyover got a lot of people talking (and commenting and sharing).

What was a quick Photoshop job to simulate the '70' plane formation as part of The Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations turned out to be an Internet sensation. The image was seen by over 1 million people on Facebook & Instagram and was by far our most popular post ever on social media.

As well as being seen by nearly 1 million people, the post on Facebook alone was liked and loved 29,000 times and shared 1300 times (to date)

Its clear that The Platinum Jubilee was a popular event for many and the stunning Lake District views (not-Photoshopped) captured the imagination and interest of many.
