The Queen’s Gloriana barge made its way down the Thames on Sunday, April 17, from Hampton Court Palace for the annual Tudor Pull ceremony.

Organised by the Thames Traditional Rowing Association, the Thames Watermen’s Cutters escorted the barge to the Tower of London, where a stela, a piece of wooden water pipe in a glass case, was handed to the Governer of the Tower.
