The Flying Scotsman is due to be in Salisbury this month as part of its 100th-anniversary celebrations.

The historic locomotive was built in Doncaster in 1923 and travelled as an express passenger train between Edinburgh and London, operated by London and North Eastern Railway (LNER).

It is now loved across the world, with thousands getting onboard the Flying Scotsman each year during special steam train trips.

This year has marked 100 years of service, the iconic train is due in Salisbury on Wednesday, June 21 from London Paddington.
