Gloriana, The Royal Barge

This is a small detail (had to be, the thing was surrounded by tourists) of the royal barge 'Gloriana', which was specially commissioned for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and led the flotilla down the Thames on jubilee weekend. It was on the Richmond riverside just outside our office for several weeks before the jubilee, but it always had burly bouncers stopping nosey photographers getting too close. Well now the jubilee has passed, they are much more relaxed about people poking their lenses at it :-)
