The first image has been released of the royal barge that will carry the Queen down the Thames during her Diamond Jubilee celebrations next year.
The vessel will lead a 1,000-strong flotilla along the river on 3 June, as the monarch marks 60 years on the throne.
She will be joined on board by her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, and other members of the Royal Family.
The barge will be adorned with flowers from the Queen’s gardens.
