Around 20 members of the royal family will travel in the luxuirious red and gold royal barge

The Queen's Diamond Jubilee weekend will reach its peak later on Sunday with a colourful River Thames pageant.

Hundreds of thousands of people will line the banks of the river to watch the Queen cruise past on a royal barge escorted by a 1,000-strong flotilla.

The event to mark 60 years of her reign promises to be the most spectacular nautical event in London for 350 years.

Millions more Britons are expected to take part in Jubilee parties, outdoor concerts and fairs across the country.

On a waterway which has played a pivotal role in the history of Britain since the days of the Romans, a noisy, theatrical extravaganza is planned and promised.

Along the Thames - London's liquid asset, according to one of the organisers - a procession of varied vessels will pass by. There will be rowing boats, steam boats, Dutch barges and Dunkirk little ships.

In their midst, will be 20 royals afloat. The Queen's luxury barge will be decorated with almost 1,000 cut flowers.

On the banks of the seven-mile route - which will pass under 13 bridges - will be some anti-monarchists wanting to protest.

But most will want to participate in a spectacle the like of which London has not seen since the reign of Charles II.

The Queen, Duke of Edinburgh and other senior royals will travel from Albert Bridge to Tower Bridge aboard a lavishly adapted royal barge - the Spirit of Chartwell - decorated with almost 1,000 cut flowers.
