A Lancaster Bomber is set to soar through the skies above Derbyshire this weekend to mark the anniversary of the historic Dambusters raids during World War Two.

The iconic aircraft will stage a flypast in the Doe Lea area on May 14 and 15 - nearly 80 years on from the famed bouncing bomb raids on Germany in 1943.

The legendary plane will fly over Hardwick Hall at around 1.25pm as part of the RAF Bomber Command Remembrance flight on Sunday.

On Saturday, it will be seen above the skies of the hilltop estate between 1.50pm and 2.30pm.
