In pictures: Singapore’s National Day parade 2023 at the Padang

SINGAPORE: There were thrills aplenty at Singapore’s National Day Parade to mark its 58th year of independence. Crowds were entertained by the Republic of Singapore Air Force fighter jets pulling off awe-inducing manoeuvres as part of an enhanced aerial display to mark its 55th anniversary. 

The Red Lions, the Singapore Armed Forces’ parachutist team, pulled off their jump from 10,000 feet above with panache, and the Padang was bathed in neon colours for the show segment directed by filmmaker Royston Tan.
