It seems Louis was eager to know one thing. According to Jeremy Freeman, an expert in lipreading, Louis asked: "Are the Red Arrows coming?" To which the Queen very dryly replied: "I hope so."

When the Red Arrows did show up and painted the sky red, white and blue, Mr Freeman says the youngster exclaimed: "Yes yes yes."

He also added that the Queen then said: "There it is" before Louis added: "Oh Red Arrows - whoah."
