The Salamander
DIAMOND JUBILEE RIVER PAGEANT
The Worshipful Company of Firefighters
Service, Fellowship, Harmony and Honour
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.
