Former This Morning presenter Philip Schofield arrives by helicopter ahead of the Grand Prix at Silverstone

Almost a year after quitting the ITV daytime show, he was spotted laughing and joking with his close friend Declan Donnelly and his wife Ali Astall after reportedly enjoying a four-hour dinner.
A few days later he ended his social media blackout of nearly a year by reigniting his Instagram with a sweet photo of his pet pooch Alfie watching Formula One on television.
Within seconds his daughters had liked the photo, as well as his former co-host Josie Gibson in what appears to be clear signs of support.
PR guru Mark Borkowski says his tepid return to the public eye has come after a year away to disappear and get himself together.
Calling him a rare talent, Mr Borkowski said: ‘He’s testing the waters. But audiences are very forgiving.’
Philip told the BBC in an emotional interview last June the affair had finished his career and revealed that the fallout had left him feeling suicidal.
