DIAMOND
JUBILEE RIVER
PAGEANT
The WCoFF held a reception on the members’
terrace at London County Hall to celebrate the
Queen's Diamond Jubilee and watch the Thames
river pageant pass by with over 1000 craft
including a special Fire and Rescue service flotilla.
Despite the rain, it was a wonderful day, with
jazz band and barbeque and great company,
including partners and family of the fire service
crew in the flotilla.
There were fire service representatives from
across the Commonwealth on many of the fire
boats. Many thanks go to the event organizers,
Viv Jones, Bryan Spearman and Terry Baldwin as
well as to the generosity of sponsors Gerda,
Baldwin Boxhall and Vimpex.
A 4 page picture spread of the reception and
pageant pictures is in the centre of the
newsletter.
