Some 200,000 gathered at Marina Bay on Saturday to mark Singapore’s 43rd birthday.
The celebrations kicked off with teenage jazz heart—throb Nathan Hartono performing the opening song at the National Day Parade (NDP) titled “Where I Belong”.
Despite the drizzle, the crowds were razzle dazzled by the non—stop action on the sea, in the stands and up in the skies.
The Singapore Air Force’s elite Black Knights participated in this year’s NDP for the first time. They also commemorated the Republic of Singapore Air Force’s 40th anniversary.
The military police also made a re—appearance at the parade since their last performance in 2006.
The six F16 Fighting Falcons greeted spectators at Marina Bay with their deafening entrance and they certainly left a mark in the sky for all to see in their tight formation.
Flying at some 2,000 kilometres an hour, over the central business district, leaves no room for any mistakes.
As thousands craned their necks with cameras in hand, the Black Knights just could not resist declaring their love for Singapore.

Ulang taun aja heboh banget deh. Kata kakak yang pernah ambil Engineering Society subject, Singapur buang2 duit segitu banyak buat National Day Parade karena ingin menumbuhkan rasa nasionalisme para citizennya. Hmm…kayaknya analoginya macam orang tua yang kayaaaaaa banget yang cuman punya anak tunggal (secara Singapur penduduknya dikit 
). Namanya juga anak tunggal, pasti manja, dan dimanja. Setiap anaknya ultah pasti dirayain gede2an, biar anaknya nggak pada lupa ama bapak ibunya.
Kalo gini Indonesia macam tetangga yang kekurangan banget. Tapi kita nggak manja sih. Ulang taun cuman pake panjat pinang ama makan kerupuk juga udah nasionalis kok
Nungguin tujubelasan,
