Adorable pictures show Prince George and Princess Charlotte larking around as they watched the RAF 100 flypast from a window at Buckingham Palace.

Prince George, who is a huge fan of planes, and his little sister Princess Charlotte watched the military spectacle from inside as the rest of the Royal family stood on the balcony.

The cheeky siblings were pictured standing at the windows of the Palace larking around while the impressive show went on.

In one photo, Princess Charlotte placed one arm in the air as the planes flew over. Another showed her sticking her tongue out.

George, who is known for his massive enthusiasm for planes, looked in awe of the spectacle.

As a surprise for the Royal Family and spectators, the flypast featured 22 of the RAF Typhoon jets forming the number 100.

The Queen praised the Royal Air Force for its “tenacity, skill and gallantry” at the centrepiece of events marking the force’s 100th year.

Standing in the forecourt of Buckingham Palace as she presented the Queen's Colour to the RAF, she spoke of the "remarkable contribution to defence" over the last 100 years.

A vast array of more than 100 RAF aircraft roared and thundered across the skies of London as the Queen and members of the royal family watched the biggest display of military aircraft in recent memory from the palace balcony.

The Queen spoke proudly not only as the RAF's Air Commodore-in-Chief, but also as a citizen who remembered the Battle of Britain, and as a daughter whose father King George VI served with the RAF.
