1,000 boat flotilla to join Jubilee river pageant

A 1,000-boat flotilla reflecting the UK's maritime heritage has been assembled for the Diamond Jubilee, organisers have announced.

The Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant will journey down river from Putney to Tower Bridge on Sunday 3 June.

It will feature a seven-mile long procession of Dunkirk little ships, historic vessels, steam boats and tugs.
