Monday 19 July Photograph the Swan Uppers 5.00pm Romney Lock, Windsor (along towpath from Windsor Riverside station) Any pub near the Windsor & Eton Riverside railway station
The Swan Uppers, in their traditional boats and colourful liveries, are due to arrive in Romney Lock around 5.30 - but arrival time will vary depending on how numerous and difficult the swans have been on the way! The three boats stop in the lock while it fills. Then they stand and drink a toast to the Queen. Then they proceed towards Eton Bridge, and do their 'oars up' ceremony, before disembarking. Well worth photographing. More details HERE.
