Police in Devon have told the public to expect heavy traffic and some road closures this weekend as a popular airshow returns to Paignton.

Devon and Cornwall Police said it officers would carry out extra patrols during the English Riviera Airshow, which takes place between 30 May and 1 June.

The force said people should use public transport, walk or cycle if possible, while drivers have been advised to car-share if they could and allow extra time for journeys.

Insp Pete Giesens said: "The airshow draws thousands of people to this part of the coast every year – it's a fantastic time to be here in beautiful Devon and there is always a great atmosphere."

He said police expected the event to be peaceful.

"We are not expecting any trouble, but there will be lots more people in the area than normal who are here to see the Red Arrows and other entertainment," he said.

"If you need to talk to us about something, or just want to meet your local officers, then please come up and say hello – that's what we are here for."

Details of road closures and diversions are on the Torbay Council website.
