By the Thames..

Yesterday was one of the most historical event in the United Kingdom. It was the

Yes. Yes it was. Of course, being a fan of the royal family and the country itself, I stayed up and watch the event on BBC. The event lasted about 2 hours and it was just amazing to witness.
People from everywhere flooded both banks of the river and the bridges that crosses it. Thousands of boats from across the country sailed or cruised through the 5 mile river and flooded the Thames with beautiful colour and music.
To watch everybody on the banks wave the Union Jack despite the rainy weather, just goes to show how much they support the Queen. Just simply amazing.
Furthermore, while I was snuggled up on the sofa watching the whole flotilla, The Queen, Duke of Edinburgh and the rest of the royal family never sat down. Throughout the whole procession, Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Harry, The Duke and Duchess of Cambrige alongside their (royal) grandparents stood on the Royal Barge and waved at passing boats and audiences along the river.
Bearing in mind that Queen Elizabeth is 86 years old and Prince Philip is 91 years old. For them at their age to stand with grace and posture for more than 90 minutes is a remarkable thing to see. That's why they are awesome :)

So anyways, I took some pictures. Well, mostly on TV though. BUT! It makes me feel like I'm there. Just ignore the news strip at the bottom and the TV frame. ;)

People gathered at the streets of London. 

The Prince Charles mask is cool. 

 The elegant Queen :) 

(ignore the big leaf, it's just a reflection)

The man-powered boats. 

They have rowed for nearly 10 hours. How about pee break?

The Commonwealth flags :)

Didn't see the Jalur Gemilang at all. 

Such a wonderful sight :) 

The royal family on the barge. 

Princess Anne in her uniform on the right there.

The majestic Royal Barge.

Look at them, all standing! 

The Royal Barge led by the Commonwealth boats. 

So.Many.Boats!

Probably my only good shot of the Duchess of Cambridge. :)

That's all that I took. Most times I was too engrossed in it that I forgot. They cancelled the "wow" moment though due to heavy rain. Oh, the London weather. Anyways, it was awesome eitherway. 

Also, I have to salute the people who've braved the rain to participate in the 7 mile procession. Pray that you guys will get well soon!

LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!!
