The Queens 94 foot British Royal Barge Gloriana on the River Thames in 2015 at Runnymede powered by 18 rowers
These images were taken during Thames Alive's Magna Carta 800th River Relay on Sunday 14th June on the Thames where it passes through the Runnymede meadows where Magna Carta was sealed. The Royal Barge was commissioned as a Diamond Jubilee Tribute to Queen Elizabeth. Lord Sterling Sir Donald Gosling Galen Weston and Eyal Ofer funded the build. The Gloriana was gifted to the Queen after the Jubilee. She has since taken part in a number of celebrations and pageants including this celebration of Magna Carta.
