HFF from the Queen's barge ~ London Olympics 2012

HFF, Nick! Superb!

Thanks Stephen

Where is this taken, Nick? Some good flags, to include 2 saltires, a lion rampante, lions couchant, and of course3 red cross flags. ;-)
HFF and stay safe.

Hi dear LGM, I've put some info in the descriptions box above. Stay Safe

A great shot Nick. I remember watching it all on TV when it was travelling along the Thames in dreadful weather, if I remember rightly.

HFF and wish you a good weekend ~ Rosa.

Hi Rosa I remember that too. Prince Phillip developed a chill as a result. I think that it was here by the Olympic site for another occasion as it certainly was not the river pageant day. I was down the Olympic site as a visitor on the day I took this shot.
Thanks for your good wishes. Hanwe & Stay Safe

Beautifully captured.
HFF and stay well.

Thanks Jaap :)

That's a very nice barge. I remember seeing it on the TV around th etime of the Pagent.

HFF, enjoy the weekend. Herb

Hi Herb, it was the first time I'd seen it in real life :) Hanwe

HFF-Nick dus dat is het prive vaartuig van de koningin MOOI

Yes she rows it up and down the river Thames before breakfast each morning when she is in residence at Windsor Castle. That is how she keeps so trim don't you know?

;o)) I wondered how she did it!!

WOW what a grande barge, but then what else would it be for the Queen, its lovely dear Nick!!
