The QUEEN’S Diamond Jubilee River Pagent

3rd of June 2012

On Sunday 3 June 2012, up to a thousand boats will muster on London's River Thames in preparation for Her Majesty The Queen to lead the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant. It will be one of the largest flotillas ever assembled on the river.

City Cruises’ boats will be joining the royal pageant - together with the armed forces, fire, police, rescue and a flotilla of historic boats, wooden launches, and steam vessels.

Join up to thirty thousand flag-waving members of the public centre stage (or rather mid-river) in this floating celebration of Her Majesty's sixty-year reign. This is a unique way to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Pagent.

Queen's Diamond Jubilee Spectacle


The River Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant celebrates Her Majesty's sixty years of service by magnificently bringing the Thames to life; making it joyously full with boats, resounding with clanging bells, tooting horns and sounding whistles; recalling both its royal heritage and its heyday as a working, bustling river.

Music barges, boats spouting geysers and pyrotechnic barges spitting smoke and daytime fireworks will all take part and there will be specially constructed elements like a floating belfry, its chiming bells answered by those from riverbank churches.

The crowds on the riverbanks and bridges will give a rousing reception to the boats and downriver of London Bridge there will be a gun salute and the flotilla will pass through a spectacular avenue of sail made by traditional Thames sailing boats, oyster smacks, square-riggers, naval vessels and other impressive ships in a magnificent celebration of the Queen's Jubilee.
