Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant

3rd June 2012

Chas Newens Marine confirmed to take part in the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant

The afternoon of Sunday 3rd June will see a thousand boats gather on the river Thames in celebration of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. It will be the largest flotilla in modern times on the river with rowing boats, working boats and pleasure vessels of all shapes and sizes beautifully dressed with streamers and Union Jacks, stretching for an estimated twelve and a half miles.

It has proved extremely popular with three boats applying for every place. The pageant organisers and representatives from the river community were involved in the selection process which included considering safety, fitness-for-purpose and range of vessel type as well as exploring whether the vessel was of historical significance or had an interesting story to tell. At the end of 2011, organisers confirmed to applicants the lucky boats who will take part in this historic event.

Various boats owned and operated by Chas Newens Marine and crewed by our highly trained skippers and crew have been selected to take part in the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant.

Every vessel will proudly take its place in the flotilla alongside Her Majesty the Queen and other members of the Royal Family aboard the Royal Barge, The Spirit of Chartwell. It will be a once in a lifetime moment for all of us aboard vessels and lining the river banks as part of this glorious moment in our rich royal history.
