A royal boat has returned to docks near Tower Bridge.
The Gloriana royal rowing barge docked once again in St Katharine Docks today (August 28).
Gloriana was commissioned for the late Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee in 2012 by Lord Sterling of Plaistow in a matter of five months.
The royal boat measuring 84 feet long is powered by an 18-strong team of expert oarsmen and two electric engines.

Gloriana's design is a nod to paintings by Italian artist Canaletto's pieces of 18th-century London barges.
The boat has hand-finished 23.5 carat gold leaf detailing, and floors sourced from sweet chestnut trees found on King Charles's estate.
