THE Red Arrows are expected to pass over Dunfermline today in a special display for King Charles.
The monarch is in Edinburgh to be presented with the Honours of Scotland in a tradition dating back to the early 19th Century.
As well as a number of other events, the Red Arrows will pass over the capital and parts of Fife to mark the occasion.
The Honours of Scotland are effectively Scotland's Crown Jewels and consist of a crown from 1540, a sceptre from 1494 and a sword from 1507.
Presenting the Honours to newly crowned British monarchs has been a tradition since their rediscovery in the 19th century when they were removed from the sealed-up Crown Room in Edinburgh Castle.
The Red Arrows are expected to be visible in the vicinity of Dunfermline at around 3.29pm before travelling towards Kirkcaldy, back to Linlithgow and reaching Edinburgh at 3.40pm.
There they will fly in the direction of Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse.
This comes after a procession from Edinburgh Castle (where the Honours of Scotland are kept) to St Giles' Cathedral.
There will also be a 21 Gun Salute before the flypast.
