17 May River Pageant to mark HM The Queen’s official 90th birthday

Posted at 15:14h in News by

The Massey Shaw Education Trust is proud to announce we will be taking part in a flotilla of vessels joining together to celebrate the Queens 90th Birthday.

The river parade will take place on Saturday 11th June and will include well known vessels Gloriana (The Queens rowing barge), Havengore, ‘Little Ships’ and current fireboats. Two bagpipers will be on board Havengore playing a selection of Scottish airs during the journey.

Massey Shaw will endeavour to pump water during the event alongside other service craft from the London Fire Brigade and Police (if available).

  • Pageant to commence at 12.15pm
    • Gloriana will ‘toss oars’ and vessels will salute to the Palace of Westminster
