Photo Gallery 1951 - Head of the River Race - 17th March (3 of 4)
backback to 1950s

Princess Elizabeth disembarking from "Enchantress" on to our foreshore, with the assistance of Bert Barry (dressed in his Doggett's coat and badge) and another, as yet unidentified waterman wearing a different coat and badge.

The location of this scene can be identified by the silhouette of the Mortlake crematorium chapel in the background.
