Flag Etiquette. Just so you know if you are taking part. In an event such as this it is quite fit and proper to move your vessel while Dressed overall. This is because you will still be within 'harbour' and technically just moving from berth to berth.

For those that go, ENJOY! it will be an event you will never forget. I was on the 1977 Fleet Review on the Solent both with my own boat and as a guest aboard the Greek Warship and the experience is still vivid in my memory.

How far gone is she?

 

[dabsolute470]

hahahah, yes just noticed that....... she would be worried

 

[affinite]

Is it just me ?

Sounds like it will be a great event to be a part of.
I just looked at the official website http://www.thamesdiamondjubileepageant.org ... Is it just me who gets annoyed at the horrible mixture of past, current and future tenses used in the media these days. It just doesnt read proper to me and I dont think that her Majesty would be too pleased with it.

The grammar is appalling and the overall writing style is childish. 5/10 must try harder.

I have registered. I wonder why it stops at Wandsworth, surely more memorable past Parliament and the other more fanous sights. Not that I dont like Battersea Power Station...

 

[No Regrets]

Registered, and stay requested by St Kats Email...

Fingers crossed!

 

[boatone]

Off you all go chaps - should be a peaceful few days upriver

It was probably written internally by someone who wasn't good enough to get a job with an advertising agency/PR Agency but to a half literate Personnel Officer seemed like a cross between Shakey Bill and Charles Dickens.
