Last Thursday Master Sean Collins was led by Bargemaster @robbiecoleman1 & Doggett’s winners at Beating the Bounds
This annual Ascension Day celebration held with All Hallows by the Tower is a long-standing tradition marking the historic parish boundaries along the River Thames
Following the Seething Lane service and Knollys Rose Ceremony, we were delighted to welcome The Lady Mayor, Dame Susan Langley DBE, and Mayoral Consort Mark Langley to Watermen's Hall.
A wonderful celebration of City traditions and our longstanding ties.
