The Boat Race - from a boat

 Getting ready ....

and they're off....

At the start of the race Oxford is in the foreground with the eventual winners, Cambridge, beyond them.

We had joined a boat load of Mayors and other guests for a Boat Race Day outing organised by the Mayor of Wandsorth in aid of his charity. I've never actually seen the race live before, and it was odd watching no more than the first few seconds in front of us. The rest we could follow on the giant screens on the other side of the river.

Then off for a cruise along the Thames to Hammersmith Bridge. It was perfect weather for the whole afternoon and the crowds were partying on the banks.
