Hayley yesterday took her role as Forces Sweetheart to the Cotswold Air Show, visiting Kemble to support the work of the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund.

The two day show took the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain as its theme.

The world-famous Red Arrows aerobatic display team wowed the thousands of visitors to the show with their daredevil manoeuvres in the Gloucestershire skies.

For Hayley, it was a chance to get up close with the RAF C17 Globemaster and C130 Hercules ahead of her forthcoming Battle Of Britain UK tour, which she'll perform with the Central Band of the RAF.

"I am a very lucky girl," she said. "I not only get to sing, I also get to come to awesome shows like this."
