A parachute display team has announced they will not be taking part in an iconic airshow this year.
The Tigers Army Parachute Display Team will not be attending this year's Clacton Airshow due to changes within the army parachute display team.
In a statement, a spokesman for the team said: "There is no easy way to say it.
"The Tigers Army Parachute Display Team will not be displaying due to a reform of the Army parachute display teams for this year.
"We simply do not know what the future hold, however, we remain positive."
It comes days after the famous Red Arrows announced they would not be attending the airshow this year.
Their route to the show normally takes the iconic red jets over Suffolk.
However, due to the Red Arrows performing in Canada at the time of the Clacton Airshow on August 22 and 23 they are unable to attend.
