The second day of the Diamond Jubilee Weekend included a flotilla with a thousand different types of boats crossing the river and around a million spectators watching them as they began their voyage in West London before heading towards London Bridge in the east.
People came from everywhere to watch this event. Almost everyone was holding a Union Jack, was dressed in the colours blue, red and white or was wearing a mask with the faces of the royal family. Most of the bridges were closed for this event, only the Chelsea and Battersea Bridge were open for pedestrians to cross, but not stop and watch.
Public screens were positioned in different areas so that everyone could follow the flotilla and see the Queen in her beautiful white dress.
The Queen and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge travelled down the river on the royal barge too which was one of the most amazing and fascinating vessels, covered in gold and red.
