Not there of course, not that daft. Just heard the BBC commentator, "Just passing HMS Belfast a WWII Cruiser, at 91000 Tons, the heaviest cruiser built in the UK"

At 91000 tons, that would be a world record. Where do they get these people from?

I saw some pictures on the TV news. I'd say the weather was absolutely perfect. 11°C and sustained rain, a perfect english weather :lol: And it didn't seem to bother the people at all, looks like there was enough to drink to stay warm

Yes, thats what we expect for a Bank Holiday, shame it cancelled the flypast though.

I thought the Thames pageant was quite impressive. The British people sure know how to put on a good show, and it was nice to see representation from elsewhere in the Commonwealth as well.

Pageant quite good, I suppose, we are now on day three, Cliff Richard is reprising his greatest hits, Shirley Bassey, Elton John, I dread to think what may come next. Has the UK no shame?
