The BIG one

The Diamond Jubilee River Pageant, on 3 June 2012, will be one of the main events of a four-day bank holiday weekend marking the Queen's 60-year reign. The Queen will head the fleet, which will include vessels from the UK, Commonwealth, and around the world.

Crowds will be invited to line the Thames to watch the pageant, which is the first major public event marking the jubilee to be announced. It is being organised by the Thames Diamond Jubilee Foundation, chaired by Lord Salisbury.

Northern Exposure Rescue has been asked to manage the safety for this event by the Port of London Authority as we are the ONLY organisation in the UK that has delivered safety cover for events on anywhere near this scale previously.

We are actively seeking new events and more volunteers for 2012. If you think we could help or want to get involved contact us.quote close
