Episode notes

Royalty and the sea have deep connections to each other. For past jubilees boat pageants and naval reviews have taken place to celebrate the occassion.

In 2022 for HM The Queen's Platinum Jubilee, a boat pageant is set to take place off the coast of Harwich with over seventy boats taking part.

The parade will sail past Ha’penny Pier, round past Harwich beach, then turning towards the Suffolk coast, past the port of Felixstow before turning to sail past Shotly.

It's part of the Festival of the Sea, where events along both the Essex and Suffolk coastlines will take place.

More information about the Festival of the Sea can be found online.
