British Queen Leads Flotilla in Diamond Jubilee Pageant
British Queen Elizabeth II led a 1,000-vessel flotilla along the Thames on Sunday to celebrate her diamond jubilee, the BBC reported. The event - the largest on the Thames in 350 years - started at Albert Bridge and ended as the last vessel was at the end of the seven-mile route to Tower Bridge. The pageant, marking 60 years of the Queen’s reign, gathered tugs, steamers, pleasure cruisers, dragon boats and kayaks. The 86-year-old Queen traveled on the Spirit of Chartwell barge, decorated with 10,000 flowers from the royal estates. She was accompanied by her husband Prince Philip and her family. Over 1 million rain-soaked spectators watched the event on the banks cheering the Queen. http://en.ria.ru/world/20120604/173829335.html
