Yes, it was the RNZAF 757 (New Zealand's Air Force One, so to speak); HM the Queen was opening a new memorial to the many thousands of New Zealanders who died during the wars; many thousands died at Gallipoli and New Zealand troops distinguished themselves during campaigns in North Africa and elsewhere.

Thanks for a quick answer. The planes where going really low. I heard the roaring engines for a while before I actually saw the plane. Made me a bit nervous for a moment.  Wink

Was anyone able to get a picture of this formation?

I'm sure I saw a photo of it, either here or on Jetphotos.net.
