Duck Race.

Part of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in the local town was the annual duck race on the river. Bizarre, funfilled event that has had to be cancelled in the last 2 years during covid. The local MP got his feet wet in helping to pull the winning duck out of the river. Soon after the rain drove us all indoors. Lots of happy faces celebrating the jubilee. Whatever one thinks of the monarchy, this event has really unified the country.
Grateful for local pageantry, unity in celebration and that the rain held off long enough.
