| - Henley Regatta
- Rowing clubs were racing on the Thames at Henley Reach for many years, so eventually the town council decided to create an annual event. Henley Regatta was started in 1839 when it was raced on a single afternoon, and when it was attended by a member of the Royal Family it became Henley Royal Regatta. It has since expanded to a 5 day event and is now the largest and most famous regatta in the world.
There are colour photos elswhere here . This is the best guide site I know of, http://www.twrc.rowing.org.uk/hrr/henleyguide.htm it's funny in a very English, tongue-in-cheek way, but still completely true. Definitely worth a read. - Album was created 18 years 4 months ago and modified 18 years 4 months ago
