    London Mayor Boris Johnson took part with wife Marina Wheeler and stood waving from the deck of The Havengore, which was used to transport Sir Winston Churchill's body along the Thames on the day of his state funeral in 1965. 
    It has a plaque on board inscribed with Richard Dimbleby's words: And so the Havengore sails into history…not even the Golden Hind has borne so great a man.'
    The Earl and Countess of Wessex, The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and Prince and Princess Michael of Kent were others to join the historic ship.
    The £10.5million pageant has seen a flotilla of 1,000 boats and more than 20,000 participants take to the water in the largest celebration to be staged on the Thames for more than 300 years.
    Stretching more than seven miles, the cavalcade – which includes a remarkable floating belfry and several orchestras and choirs, is en route down the Thames from Battersea to Tower Bridge, with an estimated worldwide audience of a billion, despite the weather.
    The police operation for the flotilla was one of the biggest London has ever seen, with a total of 6,000 officers on the ground for the event.
    'Princess Eugenie' was a  worldwide trending topic on Twitter today as Diamond Jubilee celebrations kicked off.
