i also agree the bbc was more interested in what was going on on the bank than on the thames, what should have been a really special occasion was spoilt by their badly run programme. But in all it was a great day well done Sue and Richard and crew, was fasinated by Richard when he came to collect ty,with what had gone ,so much so forgot to offer him tea and something to eat, really sorry Richard make up for it next time. pat

Cup of cocoa before going I fell asleep may have been more appropriate?
The unfortunate thing about the BBC's coverage is that they show the boats in the line in front of us going past the Queen (you see Frank on Lotus No. 10 clapping), they show the gap between us and Lotus No. 10 and just as Homer/Sue is about to appear bowing to the Queen ...... they switch to another camera.

Just noticed this in one of the news items.
The BBC has received more than 2,000 complaints about its coverage of the Diamond Jubilee. It drew stinging criticism during the River Pageant broadcast with viewers attacking its "inane" commentary, camera angles and sound quality.

Not surprised about the complaints. Very bad broadcast, regarding coverage of the boats. We watched all of it, and saw hardly any of the canal boats at all. What a shame the weather came over so bad, but well done Sue, Richard and crew. Hope you had a really memorable day. H & A

The photos we've seen so far are lovely Sue. You must have been so heavy in that dog suit once it got wet ! Its bad enough when its dry. Must have been like wearing lead boots and coat. You were all so good for doing that. Well done again .... but what fun !
