Performers held a quick rehearsal on the tarmac at Brisbane Airport, overseen by Creative Director Alan Lane.

The show, which honours the history of the Tattoo, will feature more than 1,000 performers from various countries.

Performers have travelled from all over the world to participate in the exhibition this year, which bears the tagline 'The Heroes Who Made Us.'


Following its stay in Brisbane, the group will continue on to Auckland for the beginning of the New Zealand leg of their tour.
