Bad weather has forced the RAF Falcons Parachute Display Team to cancel its jump over the Norfolk Show this morning.

The team had been due to parachute into the Grand Ring at 11am, but low cloud cover and rain has forced it to postpone the jump.

However, it is understood that the 6.20pm display will still go ahead as planned.

The display, which sees the parachute team jump from up to 12,000ft into the ring, is normally a favourite with the crowds.

It will be the first time in at least two years that the team has had to cancel its jump due to the weather at the showground, near Costessey.

Should the evening jump go ahead, the EDP will be showing live footage of the display through our Facebook pages.

The revised programme for the Grand Ring is as follows:
